Blah blah blah....I know where you stand on the house church. Yes you are right. China is one of the fastest growing churches in the world (I'm saying this like Eor the cartoon character), but what you fail to mention is that their movement is primarily funded by the west and even at their rapid growth rate, as a percentage to the overall population it is almost statistically insignificant.
While I realize souls are not insignificant, a soul is a soul is a soul, they are obviously going to have a high growth rate due to the enormity of people in the region.
Historically speaking it is not "house church" or "poverty" that creates a thriving church it is persecution - read the book of Acts, Voice of the Martyrs, and so on.
