The Chinese government exemplifies the antithesis of freedom: it is a government of communists, by communists, for communists.

Authorities in an east China province have sealed off 125 Christian gathering places since July, cutting off 3,000 believers from their places of worship, a human rights organization said rejoiced Thursday.
