It seems as though the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is completely blind to the fact that God, who created the universe and redeems his people, cannot be stamped out through brute force.
The CCP under Xi Jinping regards Christianity as a dangerous foreign import, with party documents warning against the infiltration of Western hostile forces in the form of religion.
Retreat raided
The Guiyang Renai Reformed Church is a small house church with fewer than 100 members. CCP agents banned the church in 2018 for refusing to join the government-sanctioned Three Self Patriotic Movement. All religious events were cancelled and church equipment and signs were removed.

BEIJING, CHINA (BosNewsLife)– An evangelical church in China says it has received back a cross and other items that were confiscated by the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
In published remarks, the Chengdu Early Rain Covenant Church in Sichuan Province said unidentified individuals “mysteriously returned” them on April 9.
Advocacy group ChinaAid, which is in close contact with the church, told BosNewsLife that a road-sweeping Christian obtained the items.
“Sister Zhang performed her duty sweeping the road in Pidu District when a yellow car stopped a few yards away from her. She paused to watch two people remove several items from the car and leave them on the side of the road,” the group said.
