Religion edit
Tunxi (or Tunki) is the seat of the Latin Catholic Apostolic prefecture (a pre-diocesan jurisdiction, not entitled to a Titular Bishop) of Tunxi / Tunkien(sis) (Latin adjective), which depends on the missionary Roman Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. It was established on 1937.02.22 on territory split off from the then Apostolic Vicariate of Wuhu (now a Diocese). No statistics available.
It has been vacant indefinitely without Apostolic administrator (possibly dormant) since the death of its only incumbent:
- Father José Fogued y Gil (扶植義), Claretians (C.M.F.) (born in Spain) (1937.04.24 – death 1954.01.24).
