In June 2025, Lin Yuntuan was appointed as the auxiliary bishop of Fuzhou, which is very important for the relationship between the Vatican and China.

Lin Yuntuan is from Fujian. He became a priest in 1984 and a bishop in 2017.

He has worked in Fuzhou for many years, and everyone trusts him a lot.

The Vatican and China have a special agreement where both sides decide together on the selection of bishops.

Fuzhou is very close to Taiwan, and many Taiwanese people have family in Fujian.

Lin Yuntuan's appointment has created new connections for Catholics across the Taiwan Strait.

Although the Vatican has formal relations with Taiwan, it also maintains dialogue with China.

The Vatican hopes to solve problems with patience and dialogue, unlike some countries that use force.

Lin Yuntuan's appointment gives everyone hope for peace and cooperation.
