A widowed Chinese Christian in her 60s had her government support subsidy terminated after she refused to remove Christian pictures from her home and ‘stop believing in God’, it was reported in June.
The Christian in Fuzhou city, in the south-eastern province of Jiangxi, had received the monthly pension subsidy of 250 Yuan (£28) since her husband died in 2018.
She was told by government officials that her only means of support would be removed if the images were not taken down. ‘Because the Communist Party feeds you, you must only believe in it, not God,’ said the official.
