China continues to censor and attack Christians. When will the persecution of religious teachers in China end?
A report released from the Center for Studies on New Religion’s publication Bitter Winter uncovered that China is spying on and censoring teachers from mentioning God.
The human rights organization looks closely at the abuses of the Chinese Communist Party’s regimes. They release this report to help end the crackdown.
According to the report, religious teachers are already viewed as a threat to the Chinese
Communist Party because they are religious. It doesn’t matter what the teachers have taught.
Teachers who participated in the report were kept anonymous to protect them from persecution for speaking out against the Chinese Communist Party.
In the report, a teacher said that they “were observed during every class.” The report continued, “She added that the Chinese Ministry of Education adopted Opinions on Building and Improving a Long-term Effective Mechanism for College Teachers’ Ethics Construction in 2016, demanding teachers’ not say or do anything against the Party line in their educational or teaching activities.’ Student informants planted in classes by authorities help ensure that teachers implement this order.”
Educators have also been punished when they did not vigorously push the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda.
The censorship and attacks on Christians are vigorous and ongoing. In a recent Christian Headlines report, the Chinese Communist Party shut down a 1,500-member church when they didn’t install surveillance cameras in their church.
