Changes

China is the most populous country in the world, with over 1 billion people. 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 animistic traditional folk religion beliefs with [[Buddhism]] and [[Confucianism]]. There is a real hunger for hearing crowd of people who are willing to listen to the [[gospel]] however, and the [[church]] is growing rapidly.
