“A Christian sculpture park in Yeongcheon, North Gyeongsang Province. The sculpture park was built in November 2012 by a pastor who, after retirement, needed a place to carry out missionary work. Pastor Jang Dal-yoon also built two sanctuaries and five exhibition halls in his hometown.”

Sidenote:
The thing nonAsians don’t get about Asian Christians is the faithful all about the message of The Gospel. They don’t care about his ethnic/racial heritage. Why you see Jesus depicted with Asian features. Make him more relatable. Asians have a ton of cultural history about philosophy, spirituality and Life.



Edit: another example is Buddha. He was an Indian guy but is depicted quite different.

China still asserts that it's a territory/province/whatever of China and not an independent country. Sorta like Hong Kong.

Who's telling the truth?

Political status of Taiwan - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

tl;dr it's complicated. depends on who you ask I guess. mainland China says China and people living on the island itself say Taiwan is independent obvs, and apparently the UN doesn't recognize Taiwan as a separate entity?

I know there's some Taiwanese folks in here who could dive deeper into this.
