Authorities in the Chinese Province of Zhejiang have forcibly removed crosses from the rooftops of over 400 churches since 2014. This is according to the Guardian. It is possibly because of the growth in popularity of Christianity. Now they are trying to bring a ban saying that the religious symbol violates building codes (what a pathetic excuse!)
“This means no more prominent manifestation of Christianity in the public sphere.”
The draft of rules on religious structures released by government agencies said the crosses should be wholly affixed to a building facade and be no more than one-tenth of the facade’s height. The symbol also must fit with the facade and the surroundings. The draft does not provide the rationale for the proposal.
*It's all happening right before our very eyes.
