Christ and Confucius clash in early Sino Western history
The first armed clash between the Qing and Russia occurred in 1652 as Russians penetrated northern Manchuria. After initial repulsion China gained early successes, leading to the 1689 Treaty of Nerchinsk, which held Russia at bay for 169 years. Jesuit missionaries shaped negotiations and China’s early contact with Christianity, facing opposition from Franciscans and Dominicans in the long Rites Controversy.
