 In a notice obtained by ChinaAid, the Weifang municipal government applauds the work of the subdistricts and villages in preventing and resisting evil religions. It encourages the areas to continue “the fight against evil religious organizations, and make a critical contribution to building a modern, high-quality, ecological, open, vibrant, and delicate city.” The Weifang government equates the persecution of religions as a means to promoting justice and eliminating evil. It alleges that these areas serve as role models for the entire city on how to restrict religions. The announcement aligns with the growing rates of religious persecution in China since the revised Regulations on Religious Affairs went into effect on Feb. 1, 2018. The Chinese Communist Party has been targeting people of conscience under the process of “Sinicizing” religion, or forcing faiths to align with the ideals of the Communist Party. Since the Chinese government wrongly believes religions are an attempt by foreign powers to infiltrate China, they often restrict religious practice and expression. ChinaAid exposes abuses in order to stand in solidarity with the persecuted and promote religious freedom, human rights, and rule of law.
