Christian persecution intensifies in China

China Aid recently reported a 300 percent increase in religious persecution of Christians since 2013.

According to China aid.org , "In the case of Christianity, both the government-sanctioned Three-Self church and the house church movement experienced unprecedented persecution. The Chinese government's persecution campaign included forced demolition of churches and crosses, the detention and imprisonment of pastors and church members on criminal charges, forcing churches into bankruptcy by confiscating church property and imposing fines, and manipulating state-run media to label house churches as 'cult' organizations."

The Three-Self church represents congregations registered with the government. House churches are unregistered and, therefore, not allowed to worship in church buildings. Consequently, meetings are held in homes.

China aid says about 70 million people attend the three-self and house churches.

In an attempt to neutralize the transforming power of the gospel, China has introduced the sinicization of Christianity. This amounts to de-Christianizing the church in China and eradicating the universal nature of Christianity under the appearance of constructing a 'Christianity with Chinese characteristics,' and, in the name of prioritizing the interests of the Communist Party, usurping Christian doctrine that 'Christ is the head of Church.'"

Their objective is simple: demean, discriminate, disenfranchise, criminalize, then destroy.
