Han Chinese are the predominant ethnic group, and Mandarin is the main language, although there are dozens of ethnic groups and languages. The government is a communist government, but the economy is opening up, as is political and religious freedom, although slowly. Many Chinese have a blend of traditional folk religion beliefs with [[Buddhism]] and [[Confucianism]]. There is a real crowd of people who are willing to listen to the [[gospel]] however, and the [[church]] is growing rapidly. ===History=== ===Geography=== ===Peoples=== ===Economy=== ===Religion=== China may be opening up to the world economically, however, there is still widespread persecution of religious groups that the government does not trust. In China, a Christian can go to jail for proclaiming the gospel openly, although religious persecution is becoming less common. {{stub}} ==Quotes== ==Links== {{returnto}} [[Asia]][[Category:Places]][[Category:Asia]][[Category:Buddhism]]
