- There is persecution of Christians in China that has not been seen since the time of the Cultural Revolution, but who can stop God, says dr Bob Fu.


ITV news: "Bob Fu participated in the Tiananmen Square demonstrations in Beijing in 1989 - during which Chinese troops fired on the protestors.

He was later arrested and jailed but eventually left China, gaining refuge in the United States."

"Bob Fu was tortured in a Chinese prison for his faith. After his release he and his wife were forced to flee Beijing in the middle of the night.--- By day he worked in the heart of the communist party, teaching English to government officials. By night, he shared the Gospel with a thriving underground network – despite the ever-present threat of being discovered by the atheist Chinese Communist Party's secret police. --- "We are seeing the worst persecution in China since the Cultural Revolution," Fu said, citing the latest crackdown on churches, including those sanctioned by the communist party, as evidence that the government is tightening its defences against the 'threat' of religion.

"There has been forced demolition, the removal of crosses, over 300 churches have been attacked and government sanctioned church pastors sentenced to 12 years in prison. Multiple believers have been attacked and hospitalised, and thousands of police were mobilised to attack a church. That has not been seen since the time of the Cultural Revolution. It's overwhelming. ---  the communist party has not learnt its lessons. When it took power in 1949, there were less than one million Christians. After 60 years of non-stop persecution, look at it now!"

Even the official government think-tank has estimated that there are at least 80-90 million Christians in China today, which Fu says is both an encouragement and a challenge. --- We need support."
