The big problems with the Chinese right now are their low trust, highly ethnocentric nature, combined with the ruthless Machiavellian tendencies engendered by the legalism that has been the dominant Chinese ideology for over a millennia. Christianity can fix all that.

While I'm aware Christianity enjoys a poor reputation in China right now (due in large part to the heretical Taping rebellion) it's still catching on among some sections of the Chinese population in a way that's benign enough to avoid the hammer of the state crushing it.

The thing is, if the Chinese pragmatism and ruthlessness is tempered with Christian compassion, it could create a society that's high performance, practical and high enough in trust to be relatively pleasant to live in.
