You are correct. Few realize that China -- nearly all of it -- had been exposed to Christisnity; albeit, a really bizarre form of it preached by Xiuquan. I don't believe this period of China's history is taught much in China and, after all of the purges and communist stuff that happened later, I don't think it's part of the collective consciousness. Could be wrong. But, my Chinese friends had never even heard of the Xiuquan episode. (There are similar 'wierd' periods in European/Americsn history that are likewise glossed over and forgotten.)
