China Removes Crosses, Replaces Christian Symbols with Xi and Mao, Mandates CCP Slogans
Oct 5, 2024, 11:27 AM
The Chinese government has intensified its 'sinicization' campaign, targeting Catholic and Protestant churches by removing crosses and other remaining Christian symbols. Authorities are replacing images of Jesus and Mary with pictures of President Xi Jinping and Mao Zedong, and have ordered the display of Communist Party slogans at church entrances, further asserting state control over religious practices. Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo criticized these actions, stating "Xi fears God," and urged Chinese believers not to lose faith amidst the crackdown.
