Actually Christianity was first brought to China in the 1st century AD by Thomas (doubting Thomas) who took the southern silk road and established a church in southern India. About four years ago the people in an area of southern China tried to get accepted as a distinct society like the Han and proved they came to China shorty before the Diaspora. From China he went to southern Japan and that is where he died. The place he was buried is considered a sacred place to many of the locals. When Paul tried to go into Asia the Holy Spirit prevented his saying he would interfere with the work there. It is arrogant of western Christians to think of only western Christianity. I like the Asian Christianity much better than the western one once educated in it.
