 History of China
No proselytism of any kind is allowed in China. Foreign Latter-day Saints -- mainly diplomats and businessmen - meet in branches in four cities, as well as in smaller groups in eighteen additional cities. There are a very few native members as well, mainly individuals who were converted when studying or working in other lands. Latter-day Saints working and serving in China are careful to strictly obey the laws of the land. While some Protestant groups engage in illegal proselytism, Latter-day Saints do not engage in missionary activity of any sort in mainland China outside of Hong Kong.
