The Chinese ruling class recognizes that with Christianity comes an increase in a demand for freedom, and the communists in control refuse to tolerate such a passion.
David Marshall explained when he was on the December 13, 2014 episode of Constitution Radio with Douglas V. Gibbs that in China a powerful underground Christian Church exists. Though some freedoms had emerged for a short while as Communist China toyed with the insertion of limited capitalism into their otherwise government-managed economy, as citizens become more defiant after tasting a small morsel of freedom, the communist leadership is cracking down on any public displays of Christianity, and any emergence of paraphernalia or information that champions liberty. The Chinese ruling class recognizes that with Christianity comes an increase in a demand for freedom, and the communists in control refuse to tolerate such a passion.
