Yes the massive growth in countries like Japan where it is an amazing 2% of the population or China where it is 3%.

There are over 30 countries in Asia and only 6 of those have more than 40% Christian populations.

With some having so few that there is the data has them as having 0% Christians and 20 countries having less than 10%.

Look at the growth of christianity in those nations. At the current rate of growth, China is expected to have the largest christian population in the world by 2050.

Popularity is not an argument. Christianity never left Communist Russia under Stalin, nor did it ever leave Hitler's Germany. And it also never left Cuba. Cuba is a majority Catholic nation. 

But if you think China's authoritarian attitude would be broken by having more Christians that is flat out bullshit. Their history is rooted in authoritarianism, long before they got rid of royalty. If anything China would be worse off because they would simply mix their prior Asian authoritarianism and double down on it because your head character is the ultimate authoritarian. 

Christianity behaves itself in the west because it is put on a leash by common law and western secularism. China is a sectarian one party state. The only thing that would change is the majority, not the thousands of years their authoritarian mindset. Just like Cuba is still a majority Catholic.
