Alien Religious Property in China

Foreign missionary activities, religious, educational, and philanthropic, play an important part in the international relations of China. Christian missionary rights have been conferred by many of the treaties concluded with China since 1842. The protection of missionary life and property has been one of the major activities of foreign legations in China since 1860. Christian mission workers have been accorded the right to acquire property in the interior of China, whereas commercial interests have been restricted by treaty to ports, foreign settlements and concessions. Foreign Christian missionaries constitute the largest class of aliens in China, and their property holdings bulk large in the foreign investment. These facts make pertinent a study of the legal status of alien religious property in China
