US EditionChina Expresses Support for Nigeria Following Trump Military Threats
Nearly 30 Zion Protestant Church members were arrested across seven provinces in a crackdown reflecting China's policy to control religious practice under Communist Party oversight.
- Earlier this month, around 30 pastors and members of the Zion Protestant Church were arrested across at least seven provinces, including founder Jin "Ezra" Mingri, under rules requiring worship only in state-controlled religious institutions.
- Over the past decade, President Xi Jinping has emphasised the Sinicization of religion, tightening controls as authorities treat unregistered house churches as ideological threats.
- ChinaAid's Bob Fu says 23 Zion Church members remain detained while eight were allowed lawyer access, and despite near-total detention of pastor-level leaders, gatherings reportedly continue as usual.
- U.S. lawmaker Marco Rubio condemned the arrests, saying the crackdown shows CCP hostility toward unregistered worship, while China's Foreign Ministry said it regulates religious affairs by law and protects freedom of belief.
- Although many pastor-level leaders were detained, underground churches continue to meet, with Fu saying `Most believers are aware that this could happen sooner or later & even succession plans within the church leadership have been prepared` and official data citing only 2% of China's population as Christian likely excluding underground followers.
