Terms used to refer to God in [[Chinese language|Chinese]] differ even among Christians.
Arriving in China during the [[Tang dynasty]], the earliest Christian missionaries from the [[Church of the East]] referred to their religion as ''Jǐngjiào'' (景教, literally, "bright teaching"). Originally, some Catholic missionaries and scholars advanced the use of ''Shàngdì'' (上帝, literally, "The Emperor from Above"), as being more native to the Chinese language

In 1299 he built a church and in 1305 a second opposite the imperial palace. Having made a study of the local language, he began to translate the [[New Testament]] and the [[Psalms]]. Estimates of converts range from 6,000 to 30,000 by the year 1300. In 1307 [[Pope Clement V]] sent seven Franciscan bishops to consecrate John of Montecorvino as Archbishop of Peking. The three who survived the journey did so in 1308 and succeeded each other as bishops at [[Zaiton]], where John had established. In 1312 three more Franciscan bishops arrived from [[Rome]] to aid John until his death in 1328. He converted [[Armenians in China]] and [[Alans#Medieval Alania|Alans]] in Beijing to Catholicism.

Due to the [[Chinese Rites controversy|Chinese rites controversy]], the [[Kangxi Emperor]] banned Christianity in China after 1715, saying "Westerners are trivial; how could they understand Chinese great philosophy? in addition, no Westerners know the Chinese classics. Their discussions (of Chinese philosophy) are ridiculous. In my view, the missionaries' talk is the same as those heretic Buddhist monks, Taoists, and other superstitions.

The Qing dynasty imperial government permitted French Catholic Christian missionaries to enter and proselytize in Tibetan lands, which weakened the control of the Tibetan Buddhist Lamas, who refused to give allegiance to the Chinese. The Tibetan Lamas were alarmed and jealous of Catholic missionaries converting natives to Catholicism. During the [[1905 Tibetan Rebellion]] the Tibetan Buddhist [[Gelug]] Yellow Hat sect led a Tibetan revolt. The Lamas massacred Christian missionaries and native converts to Christianity and besieged Bat'ang, burning down the mission chapel and killing two foreign missionaries, Père Mussot and Père Soulié.

After the [[Xinhai Revolution|Revolution of 1911]], which led to the founding of the Republic of China, reform-minded priests such as [[Vincent Lebbe]] and prominent Catholic laymen such as [[Ma Xiangbo]] and [[Ying Lianzhi]] protested to [[Pope Benedict XV]] that the French who made up 70% of clergy and controlled the Chinese Church were chauvinist and disdainful of China. Chinese priests were discriminated against and many left the clergy, as Ma Xiangbo himself had done.

Since then Catholicism, like all religions, was permitted to operate only under the supervision of the [[State Administration for Religious Affairs]]. All legal worship was to be conducted through state-approved churches belonging to the [[Catholic Patriotic Association]] (CPA), which did not accept the [[primacy of the Roman Pontiff]]. In addition to overseeing the practice of the Catholic faith, the CPA espoused politically oriented objectives as well. [[Liu Bainian]], chairman of the CPA and the Bishops Conference of the Catholic Church in China (BCCCC), stated in a 2011 interview that the church needed individuals who "love the country and love religion: politically, they should respect the Constitution, respect the law, and fervently love the socialist motherland."<ref name="CECC2011">Congressional-Executive Commission on China, [http://www.cecc.gov/pages/annualRpt/annualRpt11/AR2011final.pdf Annual Report 2011] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130213223223/http://www.cecc.gov/pages/annualRpt/annualRpt11/AR2011final.pdf|date=13 February 2013}}, 10 October 2011.</ref>

{{Quote|As all of you know, one of the most delicate problems in relations between the Holy See and the authorities of your country is the question of episcopal appointments. On the one hand, it is understandable that governmental authorities are attentive to the choice of those who will carry out the important role of leading and shepherding the local Catholic communities, given the social implications that – in China as in the rest of the world – this function has in the civil sphere as well as the spiritual. On the other hand, the Holy See follows the appointment of Bishops with special care since this touches the very heart of the life of the Church, inasmuch as the appointment of Bishops by the Pope is the guarantee of the unity of the Church and of hierarchical communion.}}
