The discovery of a vineyard, tombs and a northern slope residential area, artifacts such as metal crosses, and murals, as well as a variety of ancient manuscripts at the 1,300-year-old Nestorian monastery ruins at the Xipang site in Turpan, has provided more material for studying monastery life during the Tang to Yuan dynasties in the Xiyu, or Western Regions, a historical geographic term that referred to an area that includes present-day Xinjiang and part of Central Asia.
Nestorianism, which is referred to as jingjiao in ancient documents, was a branch of Christianity that originated in present-day Syria and was once popular in ancient China.
Guo said during the December seminar that the examples of religious adaptation at the Mo'er Temple and in Xipang reflect the inclusive policies adopted in the governance of border regions during the Tang to Yuan dynasties, demonstrating cultural exchanges between the East and West, as well as interactions and integration among different ethnic groups.
According to a meeting attended by cultural heritage authorities in Xinjiang on Feb 8, this year, the region will invest more efforts in studying the ruins of Loulan Ancient City in Ruoqiang county, Bayingolin Mongolian autonomous prefecture, as well as the remains of ancient Kucha, which are widely spread across Aksu prefecture and Luntai county in Bayingolin. Among the latter, the well-known Kizil Cave-Temple Complex in Baicheng county, Aksu, is considered a major site of Kucha culture.

Bullshit 'news' from the CCP regime. China Daily, LOL!

That 'Xinjiang' area stretching all the way to Afghanistan was Buddhist territory, long before the Abrahamic religions were invented.

Not according to the artefacts found.
BTW, kublai khan's mother was a nestorian of persian descent, and basically steered Mongol Empire towards a more cosmopolitan and sophisticated style of administration.
if i am not mistaken, nestorians were persecuted by roman Christendom as they did not beleve in Jesus as God, but as human.and survived in the far fringes of the roman empire, safely away from the authorities.

May i add, the nestorians who believe that jesus was not a god but a enlightened human also seek refuge in Arabia where it is believed to have influenced the arabs wrt their new belief.
