China tightened its ‘choke-hold’ on churches across the country in recent months, according to China Aid.
Bans on unregistered church worship and on teaching Christianity to children, ‘as if intending to eliminate all house churches at once,’ have startled Christians.
In Guangzhou, Guangdong Province in southern China, police visited members of unregistered church members at their homes to warn them not to attend worship services. Officers also summoned a large number of them for questioning.
