I'm aware of the Yi Vessel featuring a depiction of the "Feeding of the 5,000" dated 86 AD and the other evidence that Christianity spread to China in the 1st century. Aside from spurious unsupported claims, Christianity did not reach China until the 7th century.
But you are of course missing the point, for your theology to hold true, everyone throughout time must have been exposed to the Judaeo-Christian stream, you are aware that is not possible right?
There are Christians capable of answering your question about those who died never having heard about Jesus.
Here's one (the gist is that they'll be resurrected, given a crash course in the Gospel, and then they can make their choice).

(Certainly Winterside is dodging. You could make your same point by citing someone in North America for over a millennium, and he'd have no YI vessels to talk about.)
