Chinese Christian Woman Arrested, Criminally Detained for Attempting to Share Gospel With President
The Gospel Herald ^ | 3/23/18 | Leah Marieann Klett

A Chinese Christian woman was arrested by public security bureau officers and criminally detained after she attempted to share the gospel with President Xi Jinping.

Persecution watchdog China Aid reports that on March 15, Zhou Jinxia, a Christian who traveled to Beijing from Dalian, arrived at the front gate of the former imperial garden Zhongnanhai, holding a sign that read, "God loves the people of the world and is calling out to Xi Jinping."

Her objective, the outlet says, was to reach Xi while the National People's Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) convened.

However, a short time later, the director of the Huanghe Street Police Station, based in Dalian, brought her away, and she was escorted back to her hometown overnight. The next day, the Xigang Branch of the Dalian Municipal Public Security Bureau criminally detained her.

Days before, her friend called to inform her that the police have accused her of being a suspect at large and are looking for her.

The incident was not the first time Zhou had come under fire for her religious zeal; China Aid reports that she had traveled to Zhongnanhai several dozen times in the past few years to spread the Gospel and has either been detained or abducted each time.

It’s still Communist China, in case we’ve forgetton. The attempt to westernize China (Nixon, Clinton) has failed. More likely, the west will be submerged by demographics and steady economic pressure.

A woman who suffers all things for the sake of the gospel. I am grateful for her courage, and shamed by my cowardice.

Imagine what China could become if Christianity was encouraged, and it took over in that country. They would flourish the way Europe did, and their influence would be so much greater than it will ever be as a communist dictatorship. Constantine converted for reasons that were not necessarily based on belief but on a desire to pick a religion that would be good for his reign. Xi should consider doing the same.
