China's Great Leap Backward
Carlos Velazquez
China further clamps down on religious "activities."
When we visited China in 2008 and attended a Baptist Church for foreigners only in Beijing, the hall was guarded by policemen who inspected all passports to make sure no Chinese citizen tried to attend the service
"Places of religious activity shall uphold the leadership of the CCP and the socialist system, thoroughly implement Xi Jinping’s ideology of socialism with Chinese characteristics for the new era ... practice core socialist values, adhere to the direction of Sinicization of China’s religions.”

Thank you for highlighting the alarming escalation in China's restrictions on religious activities. The stringent passport checks in 2008 and the current emphasis on aligning practices with the CCP's ideology truly underscore a challenging environment for religious freedom. The reported measures raise crucial questions about the direction of China's policies in this regard. | Click here for more information about junk removal services we provide.

It should surprise nobody Lucie; they've done this in the past. And they've never renounced communism.
