The Pew Research Center claims that there are more than 67 million Christians in China. China’s government is concerned that spread of the organized religion is “too excessive and too haphazard” in an address to Communist Party members.
The Wire reports that “In April, authorities razed an entire megachurch in Wenzhou, which is known for its large Christian population, and in March 2013, the Zhejiang government launched a three-year “Three Rectifications and One Demolition” campaign to “rectify” and destroy what they considered to be “illegal structures.”
Religious freedom is guaranteed in the Chinese constitution.
