Christianity in China

Christianity in China has developed since at least the 7th century AD. Some consider the first entry of the Christian religion into China to be the introduction of Nestorianism around 635. Today, the population of Chinese Christians sits at 3% of the general population.http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ch.html#People The Christian community in China comprises Protestants, Catholics, and a very small number of Russian Orthodox.
