Do Christians Hold the Key to China's Future?

Credit :

One of the clearest messages of the recent Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Beijing attended by President Obama, 20 other world leaders, and CEOs from throughout the region, is that China wants to lead the world as its economic superpower.

However, when it comes to religious freedom for Christians, China is running that race for global economic leadership like an Indy 500 car chugging on a steam engine. It is true that Christianity in China is growing by leaps and bounds and may outstrip every revival in history. But it is also true that China's industrial future is being undermined by restrictions on religion and other freedoms, and that could eventually be a serious drag on Chinese economic aspirations.

In persecuting Christians in particular, Chinese leaders may be cutting off the country's economic nose to spite its face.
