The presence of a community of Jewish immigrants in China is consistent with the history of the Jewish people during the first and second millennia CE, which saw them disperse and settle throughout the Eurasian landmass, with an es ...

| | | | Kaifeng Jews: Encyclopedia II - History of the Jews in China - Name The contemporary term for Jews in use among Chinese today is Youtairen (Chinese: 猶太人; Hanyu Pinyin: Yóutài Rén) in Mandarin Chinese. This is sometimes thought to be derogatory because of the use of a character (猶) containing the animal (犭, dog) radical. There is no evidence that the Chinese populatio ...

Jewish life in Shanghai had really taken off with the arrival of the British. Sephardic Jews from the Middle East came as traders via India and Hong Kong and established some of the leading trading companies. Later came Jewish refugees from Russia (and later the Soviet Union).
After the Russian Revolution of 1917, several thousand Russian Jews moved to Harbin in northern China (former Manchuria), alongside Christian Russians.

| | | | Kaifeng Jews: Encyclopedia II - Kaifeng - History Kaifeng is one of the Seven Ancient Capitals of China
In 364 BC, the state of Wei during the Warring States Period founded a city called Daliang as its capital in this area.

Unquestionably, they all practice certain ancient Hebraic customs and beliefs, which lends some credibility to their fantastic-sounding claims. (cited on p. 217, Pictorial History of t ...

Jew - Jews and migrations.
Throughout Jewish history, Jews have repeatedly been directly or indirectly expelled from both their original homeland, and the areas in which they have resided. This experience as both immigrants and emigrants (see: Jewish refugees) have shaped Jewish identity and religious practice in many ways. An incomplete list of such migrations includes:
The patriarch Abraham was a migrant to the land of Canaan from Ur of the Chaldees.
The Children of Israel experienced the ...

| | | | Kaifeng Jews: Encyclopedia II - Jewish ethnic divisions - Divisions Because of the independence of local communities, Jewish "ethnicities", even when they circumscribe differences in liturgy, language, cuisine and other cultural accoutrements, are more often a reflection of geographic and historical isolation from other communities. It is for this reason that communities are referred to by referencing the historical region in which the community cohered when discussing their practices, regardless of where those practices are found today. The Jewish communities of the modern world can all be found represented today in Israel, ...

| | | | Kaifeng Jews: Encyclopedia II - Religion in China - Christianity Main article: Christianity in China
Some consider the first entry of Christianity into China was the introduction of Nestorianism spread by European or Middle-Eastern travellers who came to China in AD 635, as documented by the Nestorian Stone in Xi'an.
In 1289, Franciscan friars from Europe initiated mission work in China. This mission collapsed in 1368, as the Ming Dynasty abolished Christianity in China.
The first Jesuit attempt to reach China was made in 1552 by Francis Xavier, but he died the same year on the ...
