The Five Tathagatas made inroads into some schools of Chinese Buddhism about 2000 years ago but couldn’t make it to the mainstream. GOD Michael confirmed that Satan/HIM then influenced emperors to remove all traces of the existence of Amitabha mentioned in Buddhism in ancient China, which resulted in many severe fights and Four Buddhist Persecutions. The Persecutions destroyed numeric Sutras, killed/tortured hundreds of thousands of monks, burned hundreds of thousands temples in China from about 400-900 AD. These persecutions paralleled those of christians but were more severe.
Below picture shows the influence of five Tathagatas in China:

Eventually the popularity of Amitabha won over Vairocana among Chinese people despite the influence of Vairocana and the five Tathagatas remain.
Most local temples in China setup Amitabha statues. Below is Amitabha Statue in Lushan (Lu mountain), Donglin, jiangxi province China, the tallest Amitabha Buddha statue in the world.
