Description The paper examines the dynamic processes of the various social, political and cultural negotiations that the representatives of the “open” Catholic church encounter within authoritarian Chinese societies, where Christianity is a ‘foreign’ religious system brought to China by “colonial powers.” Even today, some Chinese refer to Christianity as yangjiao ??, a term meaning “foreign religion.” Conversion to Christianity is highly problematic for many people in China. Especially in recent years, the promotion of a political program of sinicization (PRCization) of religion (zongjiao zhongguohua ?????) created a new obstacle for the church.
