My bet is Christianity is not taking hold on the Chinese so they are just switching to the knowledge-less system that is Communism. The Chinese have it real bad, think Soviet-era. The Chinese may have been using Christianity just to get some food from the bishops, etc but not really buying into it. The Chinese at least have some level of freedom you have human rights and the internet that can expose any Communist slaughtering that may occur. Christianity was forced on Europe by the sword mostly but they cannot do that to the Chinese now but they do live like serfs. Christianity is coming to an end either way as they have run out of things to absorb and claim as their own. They did this in the beginning by hiring and creating followers that would incorporate Christian thought into their works, workers and what not. This kept them afloat and gave them legitimacy for some time but their track record is out there now along with their long list of abuses. Who knows how fast the word of mouth gets around in China even.
