As the Western establishment works to bolster the communist regime ruling mainland China, Beijing has been intensifying its brutal campaign of persecution against Christians and other believers as part of a broader war on dissent. In fact, according to a recently released report by Christian human-rights organization China Aid, the dictatorship’s crackdown on believers of numerous faiths last year reached levels unseen in at least a decade, surging by more than 10,000 percent in one category over 2013. Analysts are warning that the worst may be yet to come as the Communist Party of China seeks to smash any and all perceived challenges to its ruthless rule and propaganda. Even government-approved and -managed churches have found themselves in the autocracy’s crosshairs.

Despite persecution, Christians are expected to outnumber Communist Party members in China.
The crackdown is bad, but its evidence of the good news that Christianity is spreading like wildfire in China. There were estimates that China would become the world’s largest Christian nation within the next 40 or 50 years. That prediction looks more and more realistic all the time.
It appears as though the godless DemocRATS and their Islamofascist pals have drawn a bead on the Jews AND the Christians.
I doubt the American people would be willing to go to war with China over the persecution of Christians.
Has sacrificing our economy for theirs helped or hurt the Christian numbers, I wonder. I don’t know. I do know the wholesale exporting of millions of jobs did nothing to dampen the regime’s appetite for communism.
How many of these same people do or will boycott products made in China?
And why shouldn’t they crack down? If even the West is persecuting Christians, what’s to stop China. Christians are the most persecuted group on Earth.
No, it’s Capitalist China. Haven’t you heard.
This isn’t the same old China. It has changed!!!!
How big a fool did a person have to be, to be unable to realize that when no demands are made for trade access, no demands will be met.
How big a fool did a person have to be, to be unable to grasp that our trade with China would finance another global threat to peace on earth?
To a person, those who conducted, supported, and ran interference for trade with China should be lined up and shot, on the first day of open hostilities between us.
Our troops will die first, and many homeland U. S. Citizens will die second.
This will not be a war fought exclusively on foreign soil.
We have moved enemies within our nation.
That that helped bring us to this eventuality should pay the ultimate price, every last one of them.
Sure, why not? It’s not like anyone in the US govmint is going to do anything about it.
The 0bummer Administration is watching this situation closely.
They’re hoping to pick up a few pointers.
And yet, Communist China is experiencing far greater expansion of Christianity than almost anywhere else in the world.
In what is a very strange inversion of the course of history, Christianity is probably thriving better in adversity than in in places where it has enjoyed relative calm and support. Christianity is dwindling in the cradle of its greatest earlier growth, the Western world and more particularly Europe, where Christianity has largely been abandoned. Inroads made by a competing theology, which is ruthlessly dedicated to the objective of displacing every other manifestation of worship to a Supreme Being, has obscured the continued decline of the Christian faith, and filled the vacuum created by the self-induced retreat of Christianity. This, however, is only by making some degree of parity between Islam and the Judeo-Christian ethos.
Would it not be ironic if China becomes the birthplace of a new Renaissance of Christianity?
Well, at least the chicoms are equal opportunity persectors. I read this morning the gov’t there is forcing muslim store owners to sell alcohol and tobacco. Pork is next, I’m sure.
Not right now. So China is taking advantage.
