Home grown war, not resistence to missionaries.
The communist era persecution of religion does not count. This a very ,very small part in the long history of China.

There was never anything quite like the struggles in 16th and 17th century Europe, but China has long had conflict between Confucian orthodoxy and heterodoxy. One "recent" example: The Buddhist-derived White Lotus sect incited rebellions all over central and southwestern China in the 18th and early-19th centuries (before missionaries and the West were a significant force in China). These were violently suppressed by the orthodox state. At the same time, the Confucian state fought wars with religious/ethnic minorities like the Hui (Muslim) and Miao (shamanistic). China was not the West, but one still could not offend orthodox belief and practice without risking persecution or war.

Nope, I don't believe so.
Taoism and Buddhism went together rather nicely.
It's when Communism and the Missionaries got there that things went out of whack.
