In OTL during the reign of emperor Kangxi, jesuits were welcomed. However chinese christians wanted to continue traditional confucian ceremonies and ancestor worship. The Jesuits wanted to make accomodations but the dominicans did not. The pope banned accomodationism and the Emperor banned the catholic church from china.
In the 1940s the pope finally did what the jesuits recommended all along and were welcomed(before the communists took over).
Suppose instead the Jesuits win the day, and christianity accomodates confucianism (which isnt that difficult to imagine). Does a more christianized china affect the way European powers treat china???
Does it also increase chinese adoption of western ideas or perhaps even a confucianist christianity catches on.
