What the history books never mention about China is the brutality of Chiang Kai-Shek, who executed millions of people for being suspected Maoists. There’s a reason why the Chinese people had so little support for the Kuomintang, and even Taiwan no longer reveres Chiang because he was such a brute. Chiang was a devout Methodist. There’s also shockingly little mention of the brutality China suffered under the Eight Nation Alliance, which was seven Western nations plus Japan.

Christianity does not have a good history in Asia, which is why the only majority-Christian nations there are the Philippines (a legacy of Spanish and American imperialism) and Timor-Leste (one of the poorest countries on Earth). One of the smartest things Japan did was to keep missionaries out of the country.
