China remained largely isolated from the West until the late 1800s, when [[Britain]] forced the Chinese to open their ports to trade. With its large population, China was an obvious mission field. The Chinese, steeped in worshiping [[other gods|false gods]] and resistant to anything from the "outside", were unmoved by Morrison. In his 27 years as a missionary in China, there were only ten conversions. Though Morrison did not see much change himself, he paved the way for future missions to China.
