There is no religious freedom in China. The free Christians that the world hears about, the churches that President Bush visited when he was there, are under the strict control of the government; just as the churches under communist's rule in old time Russia. The true Christians running underground house churches, witnessing, and printing Bibles are constantly being arrested, beaten, tortured, and locked in jail without fair hearings, let alone fair trials. Sadly the world turns a blind eye to the reports documented by religious freedom organizations and lawyers; this is wrong. China should not enjoy the priviledges of being on good terms with democracies when it is all the while hiding its abuse of basic human rights. As trading partners, Canada and America should protest the persecution of Chinese Christians; and those of us Christians who enjoy true freedom should pray for and help in any way our brethren who are suffering.
