China continues to censor and attack Christians. When will the persecution of religious teachers in China end?<\/em><\/p>\n

A report released from the Center for Studies on New Religion\u2019s publication Bitter Winter<\/em><\/a> uncovered that China is spying on and censoring teachers from mentioning God.<\/p>\n

The human rights organization looks closely at the abuses of the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s regimes. They release this report to help end the crackdown.<\/p>\n

According to the report, religious teachers are already viewed as a threat to the Chinese<\/p>\n

Communist Party because they are religious. It doesn\u2019t matter what the teachers have taught.
\nTeachers who participated in the report were kept anonymous to protect them from persecution for speaking out against the Chinese Communist Party.<\/p>\n

In the report, a teacher said that they \u201cwere observed during every class.\u201d The report continued, \u201cShe added that the Chinese Ministry of Education adopted Opinions on Building and Improving a Long-term Effective Mechanism for College Teachers\u2019 Ethics Construction in 2016, demanding teachers\u2019 not say or do anything against the Party line in their educational or teaching activities.\u2019 Student informants planted in classes by authorities help ensure that teachers implement this order.\u201d<\/p>\n

Educators have also been punished when they did not vigorously push the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s propaganda.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t install surveillance cameras in their church.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
