Extended data:

Chinese Jews refer to Jews who live in China and are basically China-oriented. Jews have a long and mysterious history in China. Although the earliest Jewish documents in China can be traced back to the 7th and 8th centuries, Jews may have come to China in the earlier Han Dynasty.

From the Tang and Song Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty, Jews lived in a relatively isolated community, and most of them lived in Kaifeng. By the time 1949 People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded, almost all Chinese Jews had given up their religious and cultural beliefs. However, at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 20th century, some international Jewish organizations began to help Chinese Jews restore their traditions.

/kloc-In the 20th century and early 20th century, as China opened its trading ports to the west and ceded its semi-colony, many Jews immigrated to commercial centers such as Shanghai and Hongkong in China. Then thousands of Jews came to China to escape the Russian Revolution and the Nazi Holocaust.

Today, with the expansion of trade and globalization, Jews from different countries and different religious backgrounds live temporarily or permanently in the contemporary commercial center of China.

At the height of the proletarian movement in China, many famous foreign consultants and technical experts were also Jews. Many of them even became China citizens and permanent residents.
