pseudo christian terrorists in China?

LATimes report here about a terrorist action by a member of a fringe group that started out as a Christian group.

I say that because of this paragraph:

Founder Zhao Weishan preached that Jesus had come back to Earth in the form of a local woman named Yang Xiangbin, also known as Lightning Deng. Both Yang and Zhao subsequently immigrated to the United States. The sect claims to have up to 5 million members worldwide and opposes China's Communist Party, calling it the "Great Red Dragon."China cracked down in late 2012, when members prophesied that the world would end Dec. 21. Nearly 1,000 Almighty God adherents were detained for handing out leaflets about the apocalypse and "spreading rumors." It was one of the biggest operations against a religious group since the 1999 ban on Falun Gong, which draws its beliefs from Eastern traditions including qigong and Buddhism.

if this doesn't bring to mind the trouble cause by Jesus' younger brother, it should.
People who know Chinese history are aware that even the Buddthists were thrown out in the 800's...but I am reading a history of the eastern Nestorian Christians, and it seems that  the Christians were thrown out back then and several times later, under the Jesuits and under the communists.
