Last month, Communist China launched its largest ever crackdown on Christians. The raids across Beijing, Shanghai and eight other cities mark the beginning of an escalation as the paranoid Xi regime sets out to suppress the growing number of Chinese Christians.

While the Communist regime claims that the official number of Christians in China is under 50 million people, the actual estimated number of Christians now tops 100 million. Most Chinese Christians are staying away from the official government churches and going underground.

The raids and the arrests of pastors and worshipers at ‘underground churches’ that are not officially registered with and do not submit to the regime’s Communist churches is the latest move by the Chinese Communist dictatorship to slow down and control the runaway growth in Christianity which has shot up from 1 million to over 100 million since the Cold War.
