I was in China about 10 years ago where I saw the St. Joseph’s Church in Beijing.
In 1955 I had the opportunity to visit Hong Kong. It was very different than it is today. I was able to see the magnificent and beautiful structure , the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception.
Today there are approximately 30 million Christians in China. ( 6,300 churches) Their churches are required to be registered with the Chinese government. It’s amazing that Christianity has grown over the years the Jesuits fostered it millennia ago. Of course missionaries have been an important force in spreading Christianly in China.
A Christian spiritual revival has grown in the first decades of the twenty-first century. The Communist Party remains officially atheist, and has remained intolerant of churches outside party control.
For most of Chinese imperial history, religious practice was tightly controlled by the state. The People’s Republic of China also heavily regulates religion, and has increasingly implemented a policy of assimilation of Christianity since 2018.
Their constitution states that nobody can force a citizen to believe or not believe in a religion; new laws in 2022 required anyone preaching online to apply for a permit for proselytizing.
During the Cultural Revolution, believers were arrested and imprisoned and sometimes tortured for their faith. Bibles were destroyed, churches and homes were looted, and Christians were subjected to humiliation.
( FREE JIMMY LAI !!! )
Obviously, Fred, some things are happening there from an evangelistic standpoint; but the CCP keeps the churches on a tight leash and punishes severely (or kills) those who reject the leash.
