is believing in Qi a fringe belief in China nowadays?

  Someone once told me that the authorities in China are a bit hypersensitive to organized woo, mostly as a reaction to the boxer rebellion. I don't know what to believe.

    More like the Taiping Rebellion... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Rebellion#Death_toll https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Rebellion#Death_toll

      Well both really, important point is that there is a history that influences the current ideology.

  In general, its not really a fringe belief and there are whole communities, typically older folks who believe in it. However those that severely believe in Qi's ability to heal and all that can be seen as slightly wacky or "traditionally religious".
