The ethno-state of the People’s Republic of China under the leadership of Chairman Xi is stepping up its efforts to track down religious practitioners not following the Party-altered versions of religious that the Party will allow. For instance, there are CCP-altered versions of Christianity and Buddhism.
Xi is announcing new efforts to nationalize (make Han Chinese) all beliefs and customs to harmonize with the Middle Kingdom, the beacon of the world, whose beacon, Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, will one day shape the societies of the world. These are my words, but Xi’s hopes, and paraphrased words.
Xi appears more and more to need a nationalist narrative to sustain his stranglehold on power while at home he suffers embarrassing loss after embarrassing loss, from natural disasters to corruption to economic shake-ups. As the state struggles more and more to satisfy its primary base of power, the few wealthy cities of the nation, Xi’s ability to keep his own CCP wolves at bay from within might become more and more strained.
