Besides it's illegal for private parties to conduct surveys in mainland China isn't it.
Anyways here is some excerpt from Wiki since I guess you are not able to view it from mainland china.
"About 8% of the Chinese population are avowed Buddhists, with Mahayana (大乘, Dacheng) and its subsets Pure Land (Amidism), Tiantai and Zen being the most widely practiced."
"The number of Taoists is difficult to estimate, partly for definitional reasons (who counts as a Taoist?), and partly for practical ones. The number of people practicing some aspect of the Chinese folk religion might number in the hundreds of millions."
"Confucianism is a complex system of moral, social, political, philosophical, and quasi-religious thought that has had tremendous influence on the culture and history of East Asia."

I am not in China btw.
here:

Taoism was a branch of confucianism then convert into a religion, but Confucianism was never a religion.

see, it says on wikipedia " it's an ancient Chinese ethical and philosophical system"
yes, people still practice confucianism today because it teaches basic moral.
I guess u never practiced buddism, avowed Buddhists in china means u go to Buddist temple once a week or maybe more, joing the monks to read versus, study philosophy. It's like in North America, you have avowed catholic that goes to Misa every weekend, and there are people say they are catholic or christian but never goes to the church.
