		Orthodox Christianity is also practiced by the ethnic Russian minority in China.

	Asia Times: Old time religion struggles to survive
		Nearly all Chinese Orthodox believers in Beijing, several hundred at least, belong to the community of Albazines, descendants of the Russian Cossack war prisoners from the Albazin fortress on the Amur River who were captured during the many border skirmishes between China and Russia in the 17th Century.
		Although the Russian Orthodox mission and the church were later rebuilt, the Russian Revolution in 1917 separated the Orthodox Church of China from its traditional support base in Russia, and the Chinese church had to fend for itself.
		Orthodox believers in Beijing, Harbin, Shanghai and other places have repeatedly asked the authorities to reactivate the autonomy of the Chinese Orthodox Church and help them with the training of new priests.

		In the Catholic Church of the Latin Rite, this had been accidently achieved when Latin, in which the liturgy was celebrated, ceased to be understood by the people; in the Orthodox churches the altar area was surrounded by pillars with curtains in between.
		The Antiochian Orthodox Church, The Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, and the Holy Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church of America (formerly connected with the Vicar Bishop of the (Western) Orthodox Church of France-ECOF), all have Western Rite parishes.
		An example of this is the lack of communion between the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) and the Moscow Patriarchate (the Orthodox Church of Russia) dating from the 1920s and due to the subjection of the latter to the hostile soviet regime.

	SOUTH-EAST ASIA: Russian Orthodox Expand their Presence. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Plans by the Russian Orthodox Church to open a church in the North Korean capital Pyongyang (see separate KNS article) are part of a wider move to expand the Church's activity both in communist and non-communist countries of South East Asia, which has had the support of Russian diplomats.
		He stressed that other Orthodox parishes in China - in Harbin, Xinjiang and inner Mongolia, which barely function because of the lack of priests (see KNS 13 March 2002) - are not subject to the Moscow Patriarchate as the Chinese Orthodox Church is independent.
		This is one of the principles of Chinese religious policy." He said the "only way" for these parishes to acquire their own priests is for the Chinese authorities to allow local men to come to Russia or other countries to train for the priesthood.

		As was the case with the state-controlled Russian Orthodox "Church", Chinese Catholics had to accept the CPA or face the consequences.
		The Chinese Catholic Church and CPA are not "separate" because of a lack of "dialogue" or "understanding".
		Similar stories will never be told of the Chinese priests who caved in to the communists' demands, betrayed the successor of Peter, openly promoted the most diabolical "population control" policies in history, then secretly pledged allegiance to the pope when it served their interests.

	The Confessing Reader » Blog Archive » Moscow Patriarchate works to revive the Chinese Orthodox Church
		The Russian Orthodox Church is going to great lengths to accommodate China because over the past four years, the Moscow Patriarchate has been involved in a complicated negotiating process with the Chinese government in order to restore the status of the Chinese Orthodox Church.
		But the Russian Orthodox Church feels a historical responsibility for this group since they represent the work of one of the Russian Orthodox Church’s few missionary enterprises abroad, and once played a central role in Sino-Russian relations.
		One might observe that government-appointed bishops and Church support of government policies (though not abortion) is nothing new in the Church, East or West.
