I don’t know.

Now my experience with China is somewhat limited, I lived there a long time ago, just after they opened to the outside world. WAY before the trade mess even started.

But then anyway, the Chinese did not seem to have any inclination, to go to church.

That may have changed. It was a long time ago now. But I don’t think it really has, much. The government is in charge there. It just is.

Different culture.

I think you see more religious expression in Taiwan and overseas. Because, I think, there is more religious expression in Taiwan and overseas.

You get more, because there is more.

I do not think China is the place to grow a big religious culture, at least not a religion like Christianity.

I just don’t see it.

Maybe I am wrong. But I don’t see it.

That’s what the Chinese communists say and try to impose to the society but there is no good reason to think they succeed.
The Chinese are profoundly superstitious, much more than say their neighbours like the Japanese, Vietnamese, Koreans... They pray a lot and go to budhist temples a lot so they are in essence very religious. Generations of Chinese in other political environments (Chinese diaspora, Chinese in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore) have not changed that. It’s a cultural trait, like Chinese mercantilism, Chinese food... you don’t easily erase that by government fiat.
