Therefore, it constitutes a rather complex cultural phenomenon in China.

Each of these narratives... Christianity was initially a "foreign religion" in China, nevertheless it took roots over the course of several centuries through the process of ev... |

When a seaborne invasion was thwarted at the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Nankai Shitai landed in Papua on 21 July and lunched an overland attack. Having captured the village of Kokoda with its vital airstrip, the Japanese...
