Does China limit the number of christian missionaries because of the hypocrisy of the christians?

China limits the number of missionaries I know, and probably in part because christianity is a western religion, but is part of the reason because the christians pretend to want to teach English or doctor the poor or whatever but really only want to sell their product? It's a good idea China has to limit the numbers but why let any of them in at all? Is that a deal they made with the US government? It is appealing that China perceives the hypocrisy and won't allow much of it, either way.|||China doesn't need Christian missionaries. Chinese ppl have their own beliefs, Confucius and Dao, which are both older than Christianity.


btw, English teachers selling their religion is totally illegal in China.|||Christianity started off as a Middle Eastern religion. So it is not totally accurate to


say it is a western religion. Admittedly it is primarily via the western countries


that God chose to expand it. Since 9thCentury at least some Chinese exposed.


I am fifth generation Catholic Chinese Christian.

Hypocrisy or not, Christian brings in love and equality, (at least this is what they said), is a threat to the Chinese government.|||missionaries do not preach Gospel and the salvation of men kind, what's the use of English teacher? what 'bout those non-english speakings? are they not going to be saved??
