What are you on about. I hate questions of which race is better or what not.

I guess a billion people can overrun a million. So China beats out everyone including Americans.

What a silly question.

Jews in China have had a long and often enigmatic history. Jewish settlers are documented in China as early as the 7th or 8th century CE, but may have arrived during the mid Han Dynasty. Relatively isolated communities developed through the Tang and Song Dynasties (7-12th cent. CE) all the way through the Qing Dynasty (19th cent.), most notably in the city of Kaifeng. ("Chinese Jews" is often used in a restricted sense to refer to these communities.) By the time of the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, few if any native Chinese Jews were known to have maintained the practice of their religion and culture. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, however, some international Jewish groups have helped Chinese Jews rediscover their heritage.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Jewish immigrants from around the world arrived with Western commercial and quasi-colonialist influences, particularly in the commercial centers of Shanghai and Hong Kong. Tens of thousands of Jewish refugees escaping from the 1917 Russian Revolution and the Holocaust in Europe were to find sanctuary in China in successive decades.

Today, with the current expansion of trade and globalization, Jews of many ethnicities from multiple regions of the world have settled permanently and temporarily in China's major cities.

Several of the most prominent advisors and technical experts in China during the height of its Communist period—who were to settle as permanent residents—were of Jewish descent.It is noteworthy that the Jews had also helped actively in bringing the Bolshwvik Revolution in Russia. Many proponents of Socialist theory(e.g. Karl Marx) were Jews. Jews had to face persecuton all over Europe but after the Russian revolution Sovient Russia officially declared that all the communities will enjoy equal rights.

I am sorry I could not fully understand the implications of the terms eggheads . I hope this has not vitiated the answer.

Please don't be racist and a name caller ,as far as I know there is a lost community of Jews that are now based in the Indian state of Mizoram they are called the Bnei Menashe, I think.They are supposed to be one of the ten lost tribes, another community is known as Bene jews and these people are based in the Indian
state of Maharashtra,so there are jews in this part of the world also the real ones.Mizoram has quite a close proximity to china.

I don't know what you're talking about. The Jews are the brightest and most successful people on Earth and the Chinese are among the hardest working.
