A survey carried out in 2007 found that about 85% of Chinese follow Buddhism.

The problem with surveys in China, especially on religion. is that it is not uncommon for people to hold more than one religion (Buddhism/Taoism). In addition the Chinese government tends to use surveys for its own purposes and biasboth the input and outcome. At one time government data indicated only 100 000 Buddhists in the country, present data may indicate in excess of 1 billion.
