was Christianity taken to China 1900 years ago?

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

Nestorians, if I recall correctly.

Nestorian/Syrian. The Syrian-Chaldean church was very very big in what is now Iraq and Iran and Syria until the advent of the moon cult

Jews have a long history in China. http://www.infoplease.com/spot/chinesejews1.html

But you gotta wonder how they kept kosher. :)

?You talking about Nestorians, correct? Well, they would have come a bit later -- around 300 AD. Many of Genghis Khan's army were Nestorian Christians and the Persian Church was Nestorian.
