My daughter spent most of a year teaching and going to college in China. She made friends easily and always had a number of Chinese friends accompany her and another foreign teacher with whom she roomed to Christian Church services in a distant town.
Officially, the Chinese were not supposed to attend church. Religious services were strictly limited to visitors and resident foreigners. But her Chinese friends simply told the authorities that they were acting as guides for their foreign guests and studying English in the process. The officials knew exactly what was going on, but bought the explanation anyway. As a result, most of these church services were about 80% native Chinese.

China went through socialist hell for 40 years. Their Gov’t has trained and brainwashed a majority of people in “dialectical materialism” - but there is also a sizable minority who also who clearly see the failures, corruption and brutality against the human spirit, and are looking for answers.

China really hasn't been Communist in the strict sense of the world for quite a while. It's more an Authoritarian Quasi-free market capitalist state. Eventually the exploding Chinese middle class is going to push out the last dying vestiges of Communism. When this happens, Look Out! China is going to be like we were a century ago. A lot of risk-takers and entrepreneurs and tons of cheap labor and natural resources.

Thank you. Emailed to my Christian list. Christianity is growing in China, while being targeted in this “one Nation, under God”.
