Chinese Christians Compelled to Pray for the Martyrs—of the Red Army

They cannot remember their own martyrs but should pray for the Communist soldiers who died in the war with Japan.

Christians are ordered to “completely get rid of the foreign religion.” “Sinicizing” really means “identifying with the leadership of the CCP.”

Pastors are expected to hail the CCP and the President, and conclude with “Long live the great, glorious and correct Chinese Communist Party!”

A forum in Nanjing insisted that atheism is “a mandatory feature of a Socialist country,” and “sinicization” is just a tool to promote it.

Visitors are told that “the Chinese Communist Party has been inextricably linked to Christianity from the day of its birth.”
