The Chinese wanted a Chinese king. They were tired of Methodists and Presbyterians and Catholics from the West. They wanted one of their own. So God gave them Watchman Nee.
40 years later, the Americans were also in a Crisis. Cuba was going over to the commies, and nuclear war was hard upon. Bay of Pigs. The Closing Circle (Barry Commoner).

And so on. I could list a dozen things. Vietnam. Civil Rights... A hundred if you gave me time. The West was in crisis, so many of the (naive) younger folks looked to the wisdom of the East for a rising star. And they got Witness Lee and Daystar.
