The not-so-successful film “Volunteer Army: Heroes Attack” is being used to indoctrinate future Taoist clergy on the evil of U.S. “aggressions.”
Taoism is quintessentially Chinese. The campaign confirms that “Sinicizing” religion does not mean making it more Chinese, but more subservient to the CCP.
Advertised as a tool against fraudulent “false monks,” it will in fact also help cracking down on Buddhist monks and Taoist priests not controlled by the CCP.
Bigu, ancient Chinese techniques of avoiding grains and fasting for several days, became popular during the COVID-19 pandemic. The CCP suspects they are “religious.”
The syncretic group has been repeatedly repressed, but never eradicated, during its almost five centuries of history. Now, he is persecuted again.
The CCP continues crackdowns on traditional Chinese places of worship and religious icons.
As China’s communist government continues to invade and close down temples, Taoists are banned from wearing traditional clothes and hairstyles.
The CCP intensifies efforts to eradicate Buddhist and Taoist temples using various pretexts to cover up its true intentions—to suppress people of faith.
Followers of Buddhism and Taoism, two traditional Chinese religions, face ruthless suppression at the hands of authorities for defending their religious liberties.
