If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.... John 15:18
Let's be honest---it's a Godless, Atheistic Communist government so are you really shocked?
"The Chinese Communist Party’s new law – dubbed the “Measures for the
Administration of Internet Religious Information Services” – prohibits
individuals and organizations from posting religious information on the
internet unless they have first obtained permission from a provincial
government department.
Early Rain Covenant Church, a Chinese congregation, recently
discovered the far-reaching impact of the new law.
Using the messaging
app WeChat, a church member tried posting the names of eight books for
members of a reading group, asking them to vote on their favorite. Among
the titles: The Defense of the Faith by Cornelius Van Til, Tradition and the Individual Talent by T. S. Eliot and The Imitation of Christ by Thomas à Kempis.
But the WeChat app rejected the post, saying the word “Christ” was not allowed.
“The word ‘Christ’ you are trying to publish violates regulations on
Internet Information Services, including but not limited to the
following categories: pornography, gambling, and drug abuse; excessive
marketing; incitement.” Proestia
