Most Kaifeng Jews assimilated with local Confucians in the 16th century, but 500 contemporary descendants of those Jews have revitalized their Jewish practices." Source [January 2002] "Kaifeng: China's only city where there are Chinese Jews, and a Kaifeng Jewish Community. A thousand years ago, it was an emperor of Northern Song Dynasty that allowed those Jews fleeing from the persecucation by persians to settle down in Kaifeng."
