  2. ^ This is a surprisingly good study compared to Pew's previous ones on the same subject; it summarises key points in the definition, history and regulation of religion in China, and compiles the demographic data from the best surveys of the 2010s, including the most recent ones, the CFPS 2018 and the CGSS 2021. The study also contains the most recent (2014) data on counted (not officially registered, not total unregistered) places of worship in China
