they are not just arresting muslims. they just arrested an entire church full of people, and accused them of being anti communist

the priest of the church recently mentioned Tianemen Square, which is illegal to talk about in China

It sounds like they weren't arrested specifically for being Christian, though obviously they were arrested for similarly shitty reasons.

I imagine christians are much more likely to be anti-communist than other Chinese people, which in turn leads to them being under harsher scrutiny (which in turn leads to them being even more anti-communist).

China is basically a giant state-run cult at this point. It's only going to get worse from here unless their economy shits itself or the EU and the USA start curbing their power.

Socialism evolves into communism, this is why everyone should fight it.

Capitalism is free-market, freedom is the only way.

I was there in 2005. it's got an amazing history and culture but the government really ruins everything. part of the trip I was in Beijing and the city just FELT evil somehow while I was there. it's better in the countryside. if you ever go, maybe just visit villages and stuff and try to avoid big cities other than when you have to go to an airport

Muslims in China are treated much worse than Christians in China.

Seems to me they weren't arrested just because they were Christian but because the leader of the congregation talked about something illegal and the whole church was arrested by proxy.

Not saying it's right but this doesn't seem to be religious persecution of Christians like how they are throwing all the Muslims in concentration camps

Hmm, I wonder if Hong Kong is any better- given the way it has been regarded in the past/the historical context.

If North Korea is any indication that will be not anytime soon I guess. They're still kicking.

This news proves that China is equal opportunity against religions and certainly dispels the notion that China is Islamophobic.

Why, is it impossible to be islamophobic, and anti-christian at the same time?

If you hold every religion to the same standard and don't give special treatment, by definition, it's not prejudice or irrational fear.

But that's not what's happening here, unless I'm missed the part where they are locking up millions of people for being Buddhist.

It's quite interesting that they arrested these folks,if this is true, because they also arrested a group of young Maoists a few weeks ago too. The contradictions are quite amazing.
