==Boxer Rebellion==
==Boxer Rebellion==
Having undergone persecution at various times, it is most famous for the events of the [[Boxer Rebellion]]. During that time the China Inland Mission lost 58 adults and 21 children to the desire of the Boxers to kill foreign missionaries and Christians. When the war was over and the Chinese had lost, the Mission would not accept compensation, feeling such an act would be the best way to show the message of Christ's love for all people to the Chinese.

==1900-1950==
After 1919 the [[May 4th]] movement of Chinese students and intellectuals attacked the Confucian tradition and embraced secular Western notions of "democracy" and "science." Thus as missionaries were searching for values within the Confucian tradition to support Christianity, Chinese intellectuals were attacking that same tradition as outmoded and useless in the modern world, as responsible for China's weaknesses and vulnerability to Western imperialism.
The Inland Mission became increasingly conservative in theology, and in 1926 withdrew from the organization of Chinese missions, the National Christian Council (NCC) to protest NCC's liberal theological orientation.
