Yes Buddhism
Buddhism was introduced from Nepal during the Han dynasty and has been very popular among Chinese of all walks of life, admired by commoners, and sponsored by emperors. Buddhism today has grown quite popular as well as gaining support from the government more than any other religion in China. Estimates of the number of Buddhists in China range from 280 million to 350 million, from 20 - 25% percent of the Chinese population

It is indeed Buddhism, and the variant Taoism.
Of course, there's no state-sanctioned religion, and Buddhism/Taoism tends to be a very individual and personal form of worship, with many different denominations. Bit like Christianity in that respect, really.
Confucianism (referred to by the poster above) is not really a religion; it's more of a personal philosophy.

No statistics can be taken because all are underground accept the official (Phony) church.
Fau Lu Gong is no longer booming.
Buddhism is doing little if any growth.
Fundamental Christianity -- -Bible Believers are the BIGGIE right now.
