Maybe they’re see the truth and it’s set them free?

In North Korea they have something like 4 fake churches in Pyongyang operated by their intelligence services. They serve mainly as a prop for tourists

If only they could see that Christian theology as it is, is best for their country.

One of the elements ‘Chinese Christian theology’ lacks is any allusion to hell. The Chinese gov. says ordinary Chinese are too unsophisticated to handle the concept of hell; it would scare/panic them.

Well on the other hand, we could be reading the inverse one day...

Christian theology to construct a new Chinese government.

This story reminds me of this:
(Philippians 1:15-20)
Some proclaim Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from goodwill. These proclaim Christ out of love, knowing that I have been put here for the defense of the gospel; the others proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but intending to increase my suffering in my imprisonment. What does it matter? Just this, that Christ is proclaimed in every way, whether out of false motives or true; and in that I rejoice.

Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance. It is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be put to shame in any way, but that by my speaking with all boldness, Christ will be exalted now as always in my body, whether by life or by death.

It doesn’t work like that. None of this works like that.
