Religious Groups cautioned not to challenge the regime

Chinese president Xi Zinping has now got firm control of the nation. Each day he is making new promulgations and issuing fresh  warnings. Recently Xi Zinping ordered the officers that there have been many  inflitrations in in the name of religion; officers should keep a strict watch over such elements. People should follow their religion but shouldn’t challenge the power or the ruling Communist Party , he said. As per the official media Zinping warned so in a meeting. The meeting was organized on the subject - How to manage the religion in a most populated country of the world? The President also issued a guideline in this regard for followers of all the religions including Buddhism and Christianity. Zinping said that all the religious sects and communities will accept the power of the Communist Party of China. They will believe in this social and socialist system and the religious policy of the party. Zinping said that all the religious sects will follow the civilization, laws and rules of China. However, he has assured religious freedom, and also not to interfere in the religious matters. They will indulge themselves in the development and socialist modernization of China. The Communist Party of China has adopted liberal economic policy sacrificing its socialist image. Still it prefers the atheist ideology. It believes that the propaganda of the religion is dangerous for the future of the nation. Zinping’s warning may be seen with a view point that after the infiltration of Christians the Communist power declined in countries like Poland. Since last few decades Christianity is rising rapidly in China. About 6.5 crore people believe in it. Christian groups have recently alleged that the Government has evacuated the cross symbol from many churches. Perhaps for this purpose China has tightened the grip over the Foreign Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) by formulating a new law. Now these will be within the police monitoring all the time. They will have to mention the source of the funds. Critics have stated it as government control over the NGOs. While the Chinese Government has said that this was under consideration for a long time. More than 7000 NGOs are functioning in China. The US has remarked that it will reduce the space for Civil Society. It will hinder the reciprocation between China and the US. While Beijing says that foreign organizations were working without any control for a long time. The new law has fixed their working limitations. India too is facing the same problems. What do our Leftists, so called seculars have to say regarding the recent sternness of China?
