    • Short but helpful video. China is actually real AntiChrist nation. Being Han chinese is a privilege that their life wont be at stake when they choose different faith but if different race it will be so risky, many uighur christians being slaughtered by government officials systematically, their organs being removed for money. They are being framed as terrorists. Unfortunately Chinese sources deceiving the western audience who seek the truth. Uighurs often mistaken by muslims. Yes its true some Uighurs have liberal non violent islamic influences too but they are more christian, Buddhist or shaman that Muslim. Fundemantal muslims are chinese or call themselves Hui people. They have been privileged as they help china to seal the deals many islamic terror organization to protect chinese interests across the world. But Uighurs not, Thats why Uighurs often condemned by fundamentalist muslims that they are not muslims. In fact communist way of islamization of uighurs communist government's method to control and oppress uighurs like how they do in tibet,

      True Christian won't kiss ass of authorities nor will enter debate of political issues, however if the basic human rights concern true Christian will speak out for the righteousness.

      I have seen some unpleasant comments from some fascists those call themselves christian during the genocide against Uighurs, Those people were amusing to see uighurs kids raped and tortured by chinese authorities. Because they thought those victims are Muslims. Whether they are or not , A True Christian should not feel any joy by seeing genocide against to innocents. However Truth is more Evangelized uighurs being slaughtered than muslims by Han chinese antichrist people and government forces.

    • I think we need to be skeptical watching this episode. My wife and my son traveled back to China last year and she has pictures of catholic and christian churches in her home city, Chang Chuan.
      And if you use Google earth or a simple google search for "catholic church in beijing" or shanghai, you will see locations of said churches.
      God is not underground in China.
      And if you know a family hosting a chinese student who is in a American college or American High School, ask them if there are christian churches in China. Don't be surprised if what you saw in this episode and what you hear from there is different.

    • My most recent upload on Current has to do with a Christian on a macabre mission. I'd appreciate any feedback, a comment and a vote. Thanks.

    • 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...

    • 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.
