hundred young bishops who are able to hold consecration and among them
over one hundred have been sent abroad for further study. In addition,
three thousands young girls have been crowned the nunhood after their

to the church.
Every year, more than 50 thousand clerics from the Chinese Catholic Church
preside over baptism and the church prints over three million copies of
Bible.
