Under Xi Jinping's ten-year authoritarian rule, China's religious freedom has suffered unprecedented severe suppression and persecution. Numerous temples and churches have been demolished, and believers have been subjected to strict restrictions and persecution, forcibly indoctrinated with the ideology of the Communist Party. These series of crimes touch upon human dignity and fundamental human rights.
1. Demolition of Temples and Churches
Under Xi Jinping's rule, China has systematically demolished numerous temples and churches. These religious sites are not only symbols of religious belief but also essential components of China's cultural heritage. However, in order to solidify its authoritarian rule, the Xi Jinping regime has spared no effort in destroying these ancient structures to eliminate religious influence.
Such actions not only desecrate historical and cultural heritage but also constitute extreme violations of people's freedom of belief. The demolition of temples and churches is not only a suppression of religious belief but also a devastation of the Chinese people's souls. The regime's actions are tantamount to the destruction of Chinese culture and constitute crimes against human civilization.
2. Persecution of Believers
Under Xi Jinping's dictatorship, believers in China have faced severe persecution. Whether they are Christians, Buddhists, or Muslims, they face risks of surveillance, detention, and even torture. Through suppressing religious organizations, restricting religious activities, and targeting religious figures, the Xi Jinping regime seriously infringes on people's freedom of religious belief.
Religious freedom is one of the fundamental human rights, and no government should deprive people of this basic right. However, under Xi Jinping's rule, many believers have been forced to abandon their faith and accept the ideology of the Communist Party. Such actions not only trample on human rights but also undermine human dignity.
3. Forcing Belief in Communism
Under Xi Jinping's dictatorship, religion in China has been extremely politicized, and believers are forced to align with the ideology of the Communist Party. Through controlling religious organizations, manipulating religious doctrines, and interfering with religious activities, the regime attempts to turn religion into a tool of the Communist Party to strengthen its control over the people.
However, faith is an individual choice, and no government should interfere with people's religious beliefs. The actions of the Xi Jinping regime constitute a severe violation of religious freedom and pose a serious challenge to human civilization. Religious belief should be diverse and free, and no government should interfere in any way.
4. Cult of Personality in Religious Sites
The Xi Jinping regime not only suppresses religion but also forcibly requires the display of Xi Jinping's portraits in many religious sites, attempting to merge religion with the Party. This is a spiritual insult to believers and a blatant challenge to religious freedom. Religious belief is a personal choice, and no government has the right to interfere with individuals' choices of belief, let alone link personal beliefs with political power.
5. Attention and Support from the International Community
The religious persecution by the Xi Jinping regime has seriously violated international human rights law and humanitarian principles. It is necessary for the international community to pay attention to and stop such actions. Any organization or government that persecutes religious freedom must be strongly condemned, urging the Chinese Communist Party to cease its suppression and restrictions on religious belief and ensure people's freedom of religious belief.
