There is limited freedom of religion in China. There are no shortage of Buddhist and Taoist temples over there, and people are allow to worship as they please
The Christians mentioned in the article drew the ire from the Chinese governement because they are seen as politically gathering and not as a religious service, especially in the aftermath of the jasmine movement. The more resistence they put forth, the more negatively the Chinese government will view western religion.
Play by their rules, and in time Christianity hopefully may be accepted by the government
[QUOTE="Buttons1990"]Technically, they're communists in name only, holding onto power through fear and corrupt government left unchecked by censorship. They've already gave up the economic concepts of communism. but unwilling to give up their power. That's pretty much how every communist country ends up.And in other news, China has an authoritarian communist government.

I think it's more accurate to say that any Radical government ends up that way, as it requires so much effort to maintain the desired status quo. Too many dissenters allowed means your government moves to the middle.[QUOTE="hiphops_savior"][QUOTE="Buttons1990"]

Anytime you put that much power into the hands of the government, it's always going to be abused.[QUOTE="hiphops_savior"] Technically, they're communists in name only, holding onto power through fear and corrupt government left unchecked by censorship.

There are many sects of Tibetan Buddhism and the one that is being single out is the one seeking independence, the rest of them are fine
Once any entity, be they religious or not, are perceived as having any hidden political agenda, the Chinese governement is all over it

Dalai does mot seek independence, yet is labeled a terrorist
Which is why China's government is an abomination, along with there mobile death vans.
Then once dead, your bodies are turned into museum displays.
What? It's widely known that well over90% of Chinese Law is for the people's freedom.

Well I can only vouch that the cadavers I saw at "Bodies: The Exhibition" were all chinese. Also that, from disclosures during the event, that it seems they were donated/obtained from the chinese goverment, not from donating families in china. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodies:_The_ExhibitionThere is limited freedom of religion in China.

There may be no shortage of Buddhist temples in China, but there is in Tibet, where the Chinese have destroyed over 6,000 temples. The few that remain are only left standing to draw in tourists, and the monks left in those temples are basically shills for the Communist Party.
Their country, their rules.

This is PART of it, but there are numerous political studies that show "democratic revolutions" tend to happen in countries afflicted with a strong or vocal Christian population. I think that is also a big part of it, although Christianity isn't necessary for that to happen. Anyway this isn't really news.No ****** Sherlock
It's long been known communist countries shows a dislike towards religion; being religion says their is something higher then "the state" that you need to obey.
