Did they go into captivity as the scripture said would happen to his people.

@simalt I am so sorry that you felt lead to call me ignorant. I had a lot of respect for your videos and teachings. Instead of calling someone ignorant, find out why I think they are not israelites. ;The chinese are a mixed seed, that don't have the seed of their fathers as an Israelite man so it makes no sense. A huge majority of them whose father's are descendant from Gangis Khan cannot be who they claim to be. One thing for sure, the Most High knows who has the blood of Jacob.

I want to add that there are many people worldwide that are converting even if they do not know that they have Jewish blood in their family. It is the time to return the seed of Israel back to where it belongs no matter what you have to do to get it there. Keep learning and striving to do mitzvot. God does love your effort. It is the effort that counts. I am so proud of you and wish you luck no matter how you do this. I pray that China accepts you and I hope that some of you come home.

I feel such love for all of you. I had a similar situation in my family, but I put aside my feelings and converted to Judaism when I was young because I wanted to be accepted in a Jewish community. A year ago when I was 57, proof of our being Jewish was given to my brother. I cannot tell you how happy I was but I am not sorry that I converted as I lived a happy life in a Jewish community, now in Israel. Every mitzvah I have done has felt so good. I don't care what others think. I wish you love.

I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan" (Rev. 2:9

King David's great grandmother was a convert, it's not about carrying the seed of Yacob, it's about carrying the seed of the Torah in your heart. For your people is my people, your G-d is my G-d.

if you can't feel the presence of the Most High on this woman, YOU are the fool! Let her edify!

[dogramite]

(Jeremiah 12:9)

"Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour."

I don't subscribe to ALL Chinese being Ysraelite but do believe it strongly possibility of some possibly carrying remnant of scattered Yacob's seed.
