1. "no real Jewish community in China" ?

"no real Jewish community in China" ?

What do you call my community? a ghost community?

I live in China and there is a Jewish community in China.
This article needed more research; Are you familiar with the Jews of Kaifeng?
2. The Chinese I met were always the tops.
Michael ,   California, USA   (02.21.17)
In the academia, in professional work, in arts and in social settings, the Chinese in the US shine brightly. I don't doubt there are minor exceptions, but I didn't run into any among the many Chinese immigrants from the Mainland and from Taiwan I met, always superb performers. Israelis at the Bar Ilan University are benefiting tremendously from the presence of Chinese exchange students in their midst, I have absolutely no doubt.

6. Neither Jews nor Chinese are the world's most ancient people
Mark B. ,   Amsterdam   (03.01.17)
The Koreans are.
7. Jews & China
Tova ,   Toronto   (03.20.17)
I herd about these stories. Jews have been living in Israel since the time of the
Assiryan/Persian/Greek/Roman empires as slaves. It has only been in the past 500 years that Jewish history in China has come to light.

China's only interest in Israel is business - China has no concern or cares about Israel. Both China/Russia are seeking control over Israel. As Israel continues to be condemned by the United Nations and western anti-Semitism continues to grow. China/Russia is taking advantage of reaping from Israel.
