        So China's leaders opened up its market to international trade, embraced capitalism, have a space program, a leading manufacturer, has the highest USD reserves in the world, is now the superpower of soft diplomacy but still bans religious rights. Interesting.😒

        "but still bans religious rights" It doesn't. There are five legal religions in China. The only one the gov attack is Falun Gong which it calls a cult. However the probable reason for the govs holding religions to account is memory of the Taiping Rebellion

        not the only one,,the church in China is largely underground, This article addresses the sale of Bibles, tight controls by the State, this is the "religious right" I refer to. Communist China has always controlled the sale of the Bibles under Mao Zedong

        China only allows state approved religious texts of all the legal religions. And does not allow outside influences.the link between Chinese Catholics and the Vatican was cut 70 years ago.

        Usually religion is a way of infiltrating a nation's political goals. Christianity was used to colonize and destabilize many places. Not surprised some sovereignties have learned from history.

        It works because Jesus was essentially a Buddhist. The Chinese understand that Christianity is more of an extension of Buddhism, rather than an extension of patriarchal religions.

        I absolutely do respect it. I was merely responding to your Tweet. I was explaining the appeal of Christianity in China.
