I'll put my argument another way. In 1938, the Shanghai Christian Assembly was 98% ethnic Chinese and it was local, or indigenous, as Shanghai itself was 98% ethnic Chinese. But what of London, 2017? Even worse when you notice the attending Caucasians aren't locals but are ministry-loyal implants.
In one locality, there are two meetings on Sunday mornings. One for English-speaking and one for Chinese-speaking. They have separate entrances.
