Early this year, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party ordered the destruction of a large Buddhist statue that had been carved into a cliff face in Hebei Province. The 190-foot-high statue of Guanyin, the goddess of compassion, had attracted up to ten thousand worshipers per day. The official excuse was that the Chicom regime objected to the commercialization of Buddhism; the reality is that they were jealous of a belief system that doesn't involve the Chinese Communist Party. As Mussolini said, "everything within the state, nothing outside the state."
From a Chinese interlocutor who has escaped the open-air prison that is current-day China:
A couple of years ago I began to suspect that Xi and company are trying to create a new religion in China, yes, a religion in the true sense of the word — an absolute, omnipotent, omnipresent metaphysical Deism.
The new religion didn't start from nowhere. It started from the Chinese Communist Party's ever more feverish self-glorification and the personal cult of Xi Jinping. It's telling the Chinese people what a wonderful feat is being accomplished to make China the greatest, the most powerful and most envied (or feared) country of the world, all thanks to the wonderful leadership of the CCP and its genius leader Xi Jinping. China shows the way the rest of the world will follow, and in the long run only China, under the leadership of the CCP, can save the world from any global disaster.
The horrible destruction of Christian and Buddhist symbols throughout China is so bizarre it can only be understood in the context of the attempt to create a religion worshiping the CCP.
The Chicoms are old-style communists in the Stalinist tradition. The Sino-Soviet split in 1960 was due to Khrushchev's renunciation of Stalinism.

Xi = ISIS?
This is the same culture/ destroying crap the muzzie pulled.
To be fair to the ChiComs, the US is busy pulling down a lot of historical statues as well.
George Orwell was right all along.
RE: To be fair to the ChiComs, the US is busy pulling down a lot of historical statues as well.
One difference — in the USA, the pulling down of statues is a LEFTIST initiative, much similar to the Communists in China.
So, the one thing in common about historical destruction is this — LEFTISM.
The last time a counties leader was seen as god personified, they built pyramids, worshiped the sun and carved out people’s hearts.
Just like the SOCIALIST Dems and their "Squad".
Rest assured that once the Democrats take a hold of all branches of government, one of their first orders will be the destruction of Mt. Rushmore.
Which was my point. Thank you for reinforcing that point.
Try pre-August 1945 Japan.
Your going back to far. China prior to last emperor, Japanese in WWII, NK as recent as the 90s...I’m sure there are others where it was imposed, though perhaps not fully believed.
Why can’t I find any reference to this statue that doesn’t trace back to an early 2019 story on BitterWinter?
You guys are right of course. I was just inspired by the parallel of China’s organ harvesting.
yep - it’s bad...and I’m afraid with the HK stuff escalating things are going to get worse over there.
Sad. With past work I have a few friends that I came to trust, some were Christians and had to be very wary when talking with me.
As Mussolini said, “everything within the state, nothing outside the state.”
The perfect definition for Fascism.
Trump waltzes back in 2020.
In the meantime, Pope Francis has signed a secret pact with Xi Jinping in which Humble Jorge is selling out the faithful Chinese Catholics to a fellow dictator.
Almost unbelievably perverse.
