The Chinese government is pressuring religious believers to remove images and messages related to their faith and replace those images with pictures of President Xi Jinping.
Communist Party officials have told thousands of Chinese Christians that Xi is able to provide for their health and well-being but Jesus is not, the Washington Post reports. A local report on social media claimed officials in Yugan county’s Huangjinbu township visited poor Christian households to help them embrace the party’s solutions to their material want.
Officials "melted the hard ice in their hearts" and "transformed them from believing in religion to believing in the party," the report said.
Villagers removed 624 religious texts and images in their homes "voluntarily" as a result, and most of them were replaced with a picture of Xi.
Qi Yan, who is in charge of a local "poverty alleviation" effort, said party members were helping Christians in Yugan county stop "resorting" to Jesus.

ReplyDelete"Voluntary" in China means "if you don't, we will kill your wife and kids. While you watch".

Jesus can't be stopped. In ANY way shape or form.
The Chinese will learn that, too.
