I recently finished reading a book on this Jesuit missionary endeavor, which was surprisingly successful among the mandarin class in the Ming system. Interestingly, Nestorian Christians, Nestorianism having been planted in China in the th century, perhaps earlier, were still present and worshiping in relatively large numbers when the Jesuits arrived in the 16th century.

So the question “Who Lost China?” is a lot older than 1949.
