Christian churches in China ordered to remove Ten Commandments, replace with quotes from Xi

Leaders of state-sponsored Three-Self churches have been threatened with closure if they fail to comply, according to local reports.

Instead of core Christian values, the displays now preach Communist party ideology, such as: ‘Guard against the infiltration of Western ideology, and consciously resist the influence of extremist thought.’

At the same time, the Communist party has launched a crackdown on so-called ‘home churches’ which are outside of state control.

In some part of the country the Ten Commandments are also being replaced by portraits of Mao Zedong and Xi Jinping.
