In their effort to “exert total control” over religion and to “sinicise” Catholic and Protestant Christianity, the authorities have “ordered the removal of crosses from churches [and] replaced images of Jesus Christ or the Virgin Mary with pictures of President Xi Jinping,” the report said.

The report concluded that “every facet of religious life for Buddhists, Catholics and Protestant Christians, Muslims, and Taoists” was facing pressure to incorporate CCP ideology, and religious elements considered contradictory to the state’s political agenda were being eradicated.

        Yeah say whatever you want about Xi’s rapid descent into red fascism, his rule seems stable enough, and with how humans work it’s going to stay that way as long as the economy keeps growing. And it WILL keep growing because that’s just how industrialization works.
