CHINA---The U.S. State Department released its annual International Religious Freedom Report on Wednesday, which sharply criticized China’s crackdown on Christian churches. The U.S. Secretary of State has continuously designated China a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) for “particularly severe violations of religious freedom” from 1999 to the present. The report also commented on “the removal of hundreds of Christian crosses from churches in Zhejiang Province throughout the year.” [link]
