China's one-party dictatorship has been strengthening its grip on national life for years.
You read about the bombing of the 50,000-member church recently. "Xi Jinping is determined to crush any and all resistance to his rule." Christians are suspected of having "divided loyalties."
"China’s “Planned Birth” program continues today. Couples get told by the state how many children they can have . . Women who become pregnant before marriage, and women who become pregnant with a third child . . are still routinely aborted."
And the control over life is growing.
Internet censors now ban the use of the letter "N." They think it is code for "how many terms is Xi Jinping going to serve??" (Good question.) They also have banned using Winnie the Pooh meme. It is thought to look a little like Xi Jinping, and it mocks him.
No criticism of the new Red Emperor, however subtle, is allowed.
