More Persecution, More Growth | ||||
The persecution of Christians is increasing throughout China. President Xi Jinping has established himself as a modern-day emperor, whose Chinese Communist Party seeks to control every aspect of religious expression in the country. Party officials have ordered churches to begin all meetings with patriotic, pro-communist songs rather than Christian hymns and to place a portrait of President Xi in a prominent location inside the church. Churches are also expected to install cameras that enable police to monitor all activities and identify everyone present. Online worship has been outlawed, and uncooperative pastors are arrested and given long prison sentences.
