Unregistered house churches that have relied on online gatherings on March 1st will be forbidden online information unless organizations obtain government permission, an option not open to unregistered house churches.
The number of Christians belonging to unregistered house churches in China is estimated at more than 100 million.
Only the five government-approved religious organizations may apply for such permission: The Three-Self Patriotic Movement TSPM, representing officially approved Protestant churches, the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association, and the officially recognized organizations of Buddhism, Islam, and Taoism.
Starting March 1, all information relating to religion on all social media platforms and independent media must have authorization from the government, China Aid stated.
If any religious content on the internet, including words, images, and videos, is not approved by authorities, internet service providers, in conjunction with religion departments and public security departments, are to stop their internet service, according to the group.
The state-run Global Times reported on Dec. 21 that the measures pertain to all religious groups, temples and churches, and religious colleges and were “based on existent laws and regulations, including Cybersecurity Law and Regulations on Religious Affairs.
”With the permit, they are able to preach religious doctrines online that are conducive to social harmony and civilization and guide religious people to be patriotic to the country and abide by the law, only via their own specialized internet websites, applications, or forums that are approved by law,
” The agency reported.“Implementing these new regulations will severely strip and crack down on freedom of speech and religion, which is protected by the PRC Constitution.”
The administrative measures of internet religious information violate not only the People’s Republic of China Constitution but also international conventions that the Chinese government has signed, attorney Huang Deqi wrote on WeChat.
China ranked 17th on the Christian support organization Open Doors’ 2022 World Watch List of the 50 countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian.
Once again, the Chinese government shows its true purpose of being an antichrist.
