Christian churches in China are underground churches, where they secretly meet in homes. Catholic Churches with all of their ornaments and such are not built for going underground.

I don’t know, that’s how they started. Also Japanese Catholics/Christians stayed underground for a pretty long time.

The Catholic Church which had come out of the shadows somewhat is now being decimated and driven back underground. Francis seems to have abetted that result, even promoted it. The “official” church is not Catholic, or even Christian.

About half of the Catholic Church in China is “underground” and meeting in homes, basements, barns, etc.
