Xiang (Hunanese) in China: Hunanese people who speak Xiang Chinese have reputations as proud fighters, and their cuisine is spicy hot. When Inner China first opened to the world, Hunan stayed closed to Christian missionaries. Since Mao Zedong was from Hunan, atheism took deep root in this province. 35.4 million Hunanese live in the People’s Republic (77% Agnostic, 20% Buddhist, 3% Evangelical). A reported upsurge in religious interest is filling that spiritual void, but an estimated 700 gospel workers are needed to reach Hunan. https://joshuaproject.net/people_groups/18484/CH
