"Roman times...was Christianity taken to China 1900 years ago?"

Apparently as early as 86AD.

Christian Designs Found In Tombstone Of Eastern Han Dynasty

"When studying a batch of stone carvings of Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 A.D.) stored and exhibited in the Museum of Xuzhou Han Stone Carvings, Christian theology professor Wang Weifan was greatly surprised by some stone engravings demonstrating the Bible stories and designs of early Christian times."

A form of Christianity did reach China after sweeping through Syria, Iraq, Iran, India, and Afghanistan. It was popular until Islam.

Given that the tribes of Israel partly scattered into india, burma and china, yeah. The charge of Christ to the original Apostles was to minister to the house of Israel. Only Paul had a primary office ministering to the Gentiles.

Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Given the charge and the Archeology bearing it out. One has to say, yeah, the Apostles made it there.
