Nestorius (b. ca 386 - d. ca 451) was the Archbishop of Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey) from 428 until 431, when he was condemned and removed from office for teaching that Christ exists as two persons, the human man Jesus and the Son of God, the Logos. This was in opposition to the orthodox doctrine that Jesus is one person who is fully human and fully divine. Nestorianism was condemned by the Council of Ephesus (Efes, Turkey) in 431.
The first known Christians in China (635) were converted by Alopen, a Persian. Nestorian Christians are known to have been present in China until the 14th Century.
