Background and figures as recorded in the CIA World Factbook.
China's historical civilization dates to at least the 13th century B.C., first under the Shang (to 1046 B.C.) and then the Zhou (1046-221 B.C.) dynasties. The imperial era of China began in 221 B.C. under the Qin Dynasty and lasted until the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912. During this period, China alternated between periods of unity and disunity under a succession of imperial dynasties. In the 19th century, the Qing Dynasty suffered heavily from overextension by territorial conquest, insolvency, civil war, imperialism, military defeats, and foreign expropriation of ports and infrastructure.

They are different things, done by different entities, and one is never a route to the other.
Roarcry · the church
A donation to the congregation. It is not repaid, earns nothing, and carries no claim on anything. Roarcry is not a registered 501(c)(3), so give as a gift rather than for a write-off.
A gift named for China is a restricted gift: recorded against China and spent there. If it cannot be spent there within a year it is pooled into the general fund and spent wherever it is needed most. That is a term of the gift, said here so that giving is agreeing to it.
Investment Fund, LLC · the issuer
A subscription for Class B units. It is at risk, it is not tax-deductible, it is not a donation, and you can lose all of it. Open only to verified accredited investors.
One fund covers every country on the map, on one set of terms. No country has its own vehicle, its own minimum or its own return.
The church is not the issuer, not a guarantor and not a party to any subscription. No donation to the church confers any interest in the fund.
This site publishes no safety assessment of its own. Conditions change faster than any page, so these link to the governments that issue advisories and revise them.
