    Believe what you wish but when the Government decides who you can name as Bishop and will jail people for practicing their religion in public I think the Government pretty much has the upper hand. They already round up Muslims and put them in re-education camps. If you Church is underground, you are being controlled.

    When I tell people there are as many Christians in China as the USA, maby more, most scoff at me. The reality is the church needs no building to meet in, they can be followers of Christ any time any where. The Chinese may control the RCC to some extent but Christ followers are still alive and well. Even communist realize that true Christians pose no threat to the government, they also realize that Islam is as much a form of government as religion, and is dangerous. Christianity doesn't teach killing people who disagree with you! We are taught to show the truth by our faith AND good works, not to overcome evil with evil, but rather overcome evil with good!

    They should scoff at you. There are twice as many Christians in the USA as there are in China even if you double the China numbers assuming that half of Chinese Christians keep their beliefs secret.

    Do you have any evidence that what you are telling people is true? What made you think that there are more Christians in China than in the USA?

    This is from "www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/religion.htm" "The Four Official Religions of China: Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and Christianity Religion today is growing in diversity and openness to the worldwide context. No religion has ever assumed a dominant position in China."
