Why is china cracking down on xtianity

China runs a State Catholic Church. They go after the low level American based protestants groups in China because they are always fronts for American intelligence to work thought.

Thanks for the reply I saw a lot of news stories on this recently. If that knowledge got out to the mainstream the Catholic church would be even more screwed.

They are also placing over 1 million Muslims into 're-education' camps. In fact, there is estimated to be at between 3 and 5 million civilians in re-education camps already.

My bet is Christianity is not taking hold on the Chinese so they are just switching to the knowledge-less system that is Communism. The Chinese have it real bad, think Soviet-era. The Chinese may have been using Christianity just to get some food from the bishops, etc but not really buying into it. The Chinese at least have some level of freedom you have human rights and the internet that can expose any Communist slaughtering that may occur. Christianity was forced on Europe by the sword mostly but they cannot do that to the Chinese now but they do live like serfs. Christianity is coming to an end either way as they have run out of things to absorb and claim as their own. They did this in the beginning by hiring and creating followers that would incorporate Christian thought into their works, workers and what not. This kept them afloat and gave them legitimacy for some time but their track record is out there now along with their long list of abuses. Who knows how fast the word of mouth gets around in China even.
