The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has, particularly under the aegis of President Xi Jinping, been undying in its moves to suppress Christianity amid an estimated increase in the number of Christian believers in the country.
Rather than acknowledge the spread of Christianity in the country, the CCP has stepped up its repression, including permitting only state-sanctioned churches that advocate anti-Christian communist ideas to lawfully function in China.
A report by International Christian Concern stated that “Xi Jinping’s regime is fearful of many things; one thing being people with religious beliefs. They want to ensure Chinese citizens are loyal to the CCP’s ideology and nothing else. This fear translates into church crackdown, ‘re-education camps’ for Uyghurs, and demolition of Buddhist statues. House churches are bracing themselves for potentially the worst clampdown since the Cultural Revolution.”
