Very interesting...

Will be interesting to see what the impact is on Chinese politics, etc.

Because you know these people are in government positions, etc...

A good dose of Christianity is a good civilizing element, but will Christianity curb China’s manifest destiny?

“Mao was chairman of the Communist Party of China until his death in 1976.”

For those of you who were asleep in school...

Always good to have the state define what a particular religion is all about. The Soviet Union (formerly known as Russia) did and does it, Hitler did it, Saudi Arabia does it

And they will be rewarded by God and become the most dominant nation on the Earth.

Good for them.

No wonder Obama is switching his focus to China. As a good Muslim he has to get in there and stop Christian heresy from becoming a factor in peoples lives.

When I buy a religious article made in China, I always pray for the person(s) who made it.

Meanwhile, by 2030, most of the population of a fractured, rapidly declining, islamizing America will be completely clueless as to how this all came to pass..

Christianity is still illegal in China. The government could purge the Christians at any time. They have to meet secretly in their homes. This is also true in Iran, which also is seeing a resurgence of Christianity.

It depends on how one defines “Christian”.Today,there are at least some people n China (don't know exactly how many) who are classified as “Catholics”.However,the senior clergy of China's “Catholic” Church (Bishops and Cardinals) are appointed by Chinese government officials,not by the Vatican.So,in other words,China has a “patriotic” Catholic Church...not a real one.Don't know if anything like this is happening with the various Protestant denominations.

Sorry, but the “most Christian” country is the one with the highest percentage of Christians, one where Christianity is important in the culture and society.

It is not one where they are still a small minority, simply because the country is so big that the absolute number of Christians is also large.

The Chinese government has been slowly loosening their hold on Christians over the years. The greatest fear of the government is that a group will want to overthrow them. However, they consistently find that the local Christians are cooperative, friendly, and even have a genuine love for their country (the country not necessarily the ruling government). Because of all that, the government is realizing the Christians are not the worst threat to them and are slowly looking elsewhere.

I pray it continues that way. What a world we live in if one day more Christian missionaries are sent out from China than the US.

Executive Orders do have a good purpose used correctly:

The Bush administration has made it easier for U.S. faith based groups and missionary societies to tie aid and church together. For decades, US policy has sought to avoid intermingling government programs and religious proselytizing. The aim is both to abide by the Constitution's prohibition against a state religion and to ensure that aid recipients don't forgo assistance because they don't share the religion of the provider.... But many of those restrictions were removed by Bush in a little-noticed series of executive orders -- a policy change that cleared the way for religious groups to obtain hundreds of millions of dollars in additional government funding. It also helped change the message American aid workers bring to many corners of the world, from emphasizing religious neutrality to touting the healing powers of the Christian God

I have found much to like and admire about the Chinese people I’ve known. And I am happy so many of them are coming to the Lord.
