Christianity is a minority in Jilin, a province of China. St. Theresa's Cathedral and Changchun Christian Church exist in Changchun. Kim-Jong-il visited a Catholic church in the province in 2010.[1] There were raids against many house churches of Jilin in 2005.[2] At least 600 were arrested.[3] The province has hundreds of thousands of Protestants.[4] The number of Protestants decidedly exceeds that of the Catholics.[5] It has occurred, that churches in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture have been shut down.[6] Jilin City has a Catholic church built after Gothic models.[7]
