Christianity is a minority in Jiangsu province of China. Christianity in Henan, Christianity in Anhui and Christianity in Shandong are other major provincial Christian populations.[1] The number of Christians has been estimated at 125,000 for 1985, at 250,000 for 1988, at 400,000 for 1989, at 640,000 for 1991 and at 900,000 for 1995 according to Religious Affairs Bureau of Jiangsu Province. [2] These figures possibly are underestimates. The country has persecution of Christians.[3] Amity Foundation, its general secretary being Qiu Zhonghui, has its seat in Nanjing.[4] During Taiping Rebellion, Jiangsu partly was in the area of the rebels.
