As one of those men was a Primate of Chinese Catholics and the other an avowed enemy of that faith and an advocate of totalitarian atheism who imprisoned the Cardinal and had him tortured, and the OP is specifically about the growth of that Christian faith in China...
Like I said, I wouldn't think it needed much explanation.
OK let me try to read you correctly. You're saying that Cardinal Ignatius Kung is a bright shinning example of a commendable Christian figure. Then what? are you saying that this fact should persuade China to embrace their growing Christian population?
What about other Christians who are not so commendable? What about the head of the Church of England who did not mind having soldiers killing people under her banner? and not just any random people, they were killing Chinese christians.
What about the British soldiers who were Christians and took part in those killings?
Edit: I forgot to add the ironic part. It was the French and Brits (who fought on behalf of the British Crown, who also happen to be the head of the English Church) who destroyed the last Christian theocracy in recent world history (if you ignored the Vatican). It was this Chinese Christian theocracy that had the most Chinese Christian population, even today.
