The "China Martyrs of 1900" is a term used by Protestant Christian churches to refer to those members who were killed in 1900 when attacks took place across China in connection with the Boxer Rebellion which targeted Christians and foreigners. 182 Protestant missionaries and 500 Chinese Protestants were known to have been killed, but the numbers of natives involved may have been higher. The China Inland Mission lost more members than any other agency: 58 adults and 21 children were killed. However, in 1901, when the allied nations were demanding compensation from the Chinese government, Hudson Taylor refused to accept payment for loss of property or life in order to demonstrate the meekness of Christ to the Chinese. ^[1]
