[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While “outsider” religions, like Islam, are banned and persecuted, Xi might be softening on traditional religions because he thinks they can help the party.

You’re referring to an article that is from 2013. Learn more about news here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News[/quote]

And it was linked from the recent article that covers the same topic:

I shared the Reuters article because it was more succinct. It is still true today.

Xi is using traditional religions to exclude foreign influences.

What is your point? Is this acceptable to you? They see religion as a threat to the state.

"upwards of 3 million Muslim Uighurs have been sent to “counter-terrorism” or “re-education” camps, where they are tortured into renouncing their religion and forced to recite state propaganda" - from your link

The Chinese are not good guys when it comes to religion, but Christians are not currently among its persecuted religious groups[/quote]

Unlike Islam, Christianity is a recognized religion in China and is tolerated as long as they follow the regulations. Christians are punished though if they break the rules. It’s not full religious freedom.

Correct. The communist state atheists see Christianity as a threat from the west as it gains in popularity. They have no problem cracking down on it, closing churches, jailing people and re-writing scripture and whatever other tactics. Christians are most certainly among its persecuted currently. Religion in these atheist/communist countries exist to serve the state. There is no real religious freedom as PP said. [/quote]
