[Ave Maria]

(CNSNews.com) - One year after China implemented new regulations on religion that it said would end discrimination, campaigners continue to report abuses; and some question whether the situation has improved at all for believers.

sad. But no shock (sadly)

It seems clear that some of our brothers and sisters are in trouble and are in need of prayer.

I'm praying for those people and also for the Chinese government that God will guide them and that the right decisions and actions will be made.

Unfortunately, I fear that such persecution will last a very long time.

Looking at what the bible tells us, we will face more and more of it.
I believe the rules and laws the new government in China has or wants to put in place may do the country good.
But when something has been the way everything has worked for many decades, it does not change overnight into a whole new system. If someone has been persecuted by an entire nation and the government overnight says "Let´s stop" - the people and the system will not stop for some time.
