Following the race riots in East Turkestan earlier this year, the ChiComs are putting a full-court press on the region. The latest victim is a Uighur who converted from Islam to Christianity and started a house church. For that he has just been sentenced to 15 years in a camp. China Aid Association reports that this sentence is “the most severe for a house church leader in nearly decade.”

On a related theme: If the table on page 51 of this report can be relied on, China is way down low in world rankings of holding positive views of Christianity. To the query: “Please tell me if you have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable opinion of Christians,” Chinese respondents came up 2-20-37-18. Some other nations for comparison: Pakistan 4-20-17-43, Turkey 2-8-12-62, USA 62-25-3-0, Russia 47-41-4-3, Mexico 11-36-17-11.
