Even statistics like ethnic differentiation in personal income are wildly skewed comparing ethnic Kurds to ethnic Turks vs comparing Han and Uyghur income. we literally abandoned the kurds and allowed turkey to steamroll over them so yeah

“A member of a Christian ‘house church’ in the southwestern province of Sichuan who asked to be identified by a pseudonym Li Yuese said he was held in a facility run by the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s United Front Work Department, working in tandem with the state security police, for 10 months after a raid on his church in 2018,” Radio Free Asia reported. “Another Christian who asked to remain anonymous told RFA that similar facilities are being used across China, not just for Protestants, but also for members of the underground Catholic church, and of the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement, a target of authorities since 1999.” Radio Free Asia is a non-profit broadcasting corporation funded through the U.S. Agency for Global Media, an independent federal government agency. oh come on!

Is there really an underground Catholic church? Anything I look up seems to be a mix of ‘China making agreements with the Vatican a couple years ago’ and ‘Chinese cracking down on Catholicism.’ Is it just allowed under strict laws?

DesertIslandHermit posted:Is there really an underground Catholic church? Anything I look up seems to be a mix of ‘China making agreements with the Vatican a couple years ago’ and ‘Chinese cracking down on Catholicism.’ Is it just allowed under strict laws? Currently China has gray area "patriotic bishops" and underground "family church" priests (I am not too familiar with Godman job titles). The on-going negotiation between China and Vatican is that if and when Vatican dump Taiwan and establish formal relationship with China, Vatican will appoint a Bishop from a list of "approved bishops" provided by China. So basically the main Bishop need to be approved by both governments. It's essentially the "Vietnam model" and the Vatican wouldn't have problem with it. So and reason this deal is not moving forward most likely is at the Chinese end, even though Vatican is the only European region that still recognize Taiwan. My speculation is that it will introduce too many legal issues to the other Christian underground churches, and specially the Arabization of the Islam in Xinjiang. Personally, I have not heard Chinese Christians being oppressed except the ones that helped smuggling North Koreans to South Korea. I am not saying its not happening, but CCP's main issue is not religion, but the religions need to be localized, and be authorized by the central government.

Someone who goes to a "house church" must know what they're getting into, really. Anything outside the bounds of the State church is going to get cracked down on hard right now and I can't imagine they're treated well in prison.

I'm fairly sure there are more people practicing Catholicism in China than there are practicing Judaism on the planet. It's a significant amount of people. I have one close friend in China who's catholic and her church seems to be pretty extreme, I don't really know how the religion operates there but I could guess it might be at odds with the government in several ways. I never got the sense that China cares at all about religion in private life or individual identification, they care about organizations with leadership that can sway opinion or groupthink that might suddenly run to some political position. Foreign media is just projecting it's identity based culture / history of persecution.

Anything I look up seems to be a mix of ‘China making agreements with the Vatican a couple years ago’ and ‘Chinese cracking down on Catholicism.’ Is it just allowed under strict laws? I believe there's an underground church of Catholics loyal to the Vatican because the legal "Catholic" church in China answers to Beijing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Patriotic_Catholic_Association I don't know about the underground Catholics, I assume they're probably close to some trad-Caths or people who want Latin masses but "house church" is generally synonymous with crazy evangelical. Sometimes they'll both ordain clergy as part of an agreement but they don't acknowledge each other's clergy otherwise. Both are separate and if you're in China at a "Catholic" church, you're most likely under a priest with no public connection to Rome and if you do have one who does, you're only worshiping under them as a technicality since the mass is conducted under the directions of the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association and not the Roman Catholic Church. It sounds dumb and convoluted, which it is, but the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association is as much a Roman Catholic Church as an Orthodox or Coptic one considering their differences and separation from Rome.

In china to get a film into commercial theaters you need a 龍標, which looks like this Which is at times, and especially now, very annoying to get. It precludes a lot of stories from making it to wide release (you can usually still show films without the dragon mark at private screening or film festivals/competitions, or stream them online). There's one or two producers in China where if they let you put their name in your credits you'll have a much better chance to get approved, so these people are basically essential to network with and suck up to. If you fail to get it you basically have to cut and reshoot scenes for the appeasement of what's now called the national film administration. Anyway this dumb dragon stamp basically destroys indie film in China because you can make a great film, not get a 龍標, and be totally hosed, the only way to recoup money is to sell your oversea rights and you're reduced to streaming websites within china. And if you make an explicitly LGBT or crime film or whatever you're also hosed even though there's no official rule against it, lots of topics are basically banned de facto. When people start to undertake a project they basically have to decide if it's for Chinese market or overseas market at the get go. If you wonder why Chinese films aren't very good anymore I think it's at least 50% this dragon mark's fault Antonymous has issued a correction as of 19:51 on Apr 6, 2021 |
