Any true Christianity in Imperialistic Communist China is being crushed. Every attempt is being made to eradicate authentic Bible-centered, Bible-focused, Bible-preaching and teaching, the Lord Jeus Christ centered Christianity. The only Christianity there is. Not this faux acting found in so many places, and not this lying devoted to the Chinese Communist Party above all else church of Rome and Protestant Three-Self Patriotic Movement false faith that is exempt from the new law in place — because both of those organizations are not Christ centered, true born anew, faith-based in Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit and the whole Word of God organizations. Both of those aforementioned outfits bow to the Communist Chinese Party and not to God. Not really. Uppermost is their loyalty to the CCP. To save their backsides not their eternal souls.

Harsh? Terse? Cynical?

Hardly. Just the facts as they are. Just direct. Something most folks nowadays have a problem with.

It’s called discerning wisely.

Being watchmen and women. Knowing what is evil and unrighteous.

According to the Word of God and the actions taken, or lack of actions taken by the leaders within the church of Rome and the Protestant Three-Self Patriotic Movement.

Christian persecution is ramping up by the day in Imperialistic Communist China.

The world weeps and gnashes its teeth and bemoans the situation of the Uyghurs, the Islamists in Imperialistic Communist China yet the world utters nothing of the severe persecution the true Christian church faces in Imperialistic communist China.

Imperialist Communist China: new law makes online church meetings illegal

Imperialistic Communist China is tightening up its religious regulations around online meetings.

A new law will take effect on 1 March making online gatherings illegal for unregistered churches. The law will also make it illegal to share religious content on social media.

The two state-controlled denominations, the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant Three-Self Patriotic Movement, are exempt from the new regulations.

Thomas Muller, Asia analyst for Christian anti-persecution charity Open Doors, said that even state-controlled churches will be affected by the law.

“To be able to post or share anything online requires an ‘Internet Religious Information Service Permit’. In practice these will only be made available to the already ‘legally established’ churches,” he explained.

“Even these churches will have their content closely scrutinized, to ensure that the message is suitably ‘Sinicized’ and in keeping with Chinese Communist Party teaching.

“All other ‘underground’ churches are effectively being driven off the internet.”

China is ranked 17th on the Open Doors World Watch List of countries where Christians face the worst persecution.

Dr. David Landrum, Director of Advocacy for Open Doors U.K. & Ireland, said this latest law was part of a long-running strategy by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

“The CCP has long seen religion as a potential threat. Where it can’t shut religion down, it has tried to contain it,” he said.

“In recent years, we have seen some state-approved churches install facial recognition technology, close and destroy churches and rewrite passages of the Bible for educational materials.

“They fear that Christians have another loyalty than to the CCP, and they are correct.

“Churches will need to adapt the way they operate, with many possibly coming offline for now. As the nation’s search for meaning continues to be unmet by the nation’s official atheist dogmas, they will continue to grow.”

Christian sources in China told Open Doors that they have already deleted religious social media content in anticipation of the new law coming into force.

The regulations solidify creeping state control of online spaces, with one Christian leader in southern China, who cannot be named for security reasons, saying that large online meetings in his area have all but “disappeared”.

“So far, we have been able to hold small online gatherings, with a few church members attending each time. We will continue our meetings online, wherever there is space. We will play it by ear,” he said.
