Hop Yat Church / Church of Christ in China
JC, I'm not sure this is right:
I understand the 'Church of Christ in China' to be the name of the organisation that has many churches in Hong Kong, including the Hop Yat Church.
e.g. if you look at the law incorporating the church, https://oelawhk.lib.hku.hk/items/show/3497, the name is: 'Hop Yat Church of The Church of Christ in China'.
There are other local churches that are part of the same organisation, and also include 'Church of Christ in China' in their names: https://www.google.com/maps/search/church+of+christ+in+china/@22.337172…
