Angela Sun looks at how Christians in China are going against the Communist government's authority and worshing in underground churches. It's a growing movement that has inspired an estimated 50 million Chinese citizens to worship in secret.

    im going to live in china (beijing and chengdu) for a month and a half this summer and as a christian this is extremely informative.

  • As a Christian myself, it is a real heartbreak to see how oppressed Christians are in that country. It is ironic that a communist system would embrace capitalist economic structure but would not let religion be free. If they can embrace a democratic style economy why not let religion be a free choice amongst the society.Chinese culture from my knowledge should allow religion within the society because that's part of their culture. Even China's communism is designed around their cultural and philosophical ideals. Luckily I know a few churches that are sending millions of bibles to our brothers and sisters in Christ. I wish them well and I will pray for them.

  • I am intrigued by the possibility that the hotel room was tapped, documents stolen, etc.

    Some points of interest...

    I believe the subject was already being monitored if the room was really compromised (unless this pod was created after the AIDS blood pod)

    If the hotel room was compromised, I think the person being interviewed and any Chinese citizens on the documents are screwed.

    If the room was compromised then the person being interviewed better come up with some new code words since she just openly admitted what the current ones are.

    On the other hand, if the room was compromised, I can't imagine why they wouldn't take everything, confiscate tapes, as well as send people in to give the interviewer a hard time.

    Interesting...

  • wow. i would love to go to china and talk more with these underground Christians, we take our freedom for granted so often that things like freedom of religion seams so weird to us.
