China Hainan. Given its relatively independent geographical location and the size of its economy in China, Hainan Island, being used as a “living laboratory” to test policy, is a fitting site to build a free trade port.

Chinese-language open sources reveal a tremendous amount about Maritime Militia activities, both in coordination with and independent of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

  • Hainan – Hainan International Cultural College
    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: CHN31077 Country: China Date: 22 December 2006 Keywords: China – Christians – Underground Protestants – Hainan – Hainan International Cultural College This response was prepared by the Country Research Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints. This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. What is the situation of harassment by PRC authorities of Christians (underground Protestants) in Hainan and area surrounding? 2. Question deleted. 3. Please provide information about Hainan International Cultural College. RESPONSE 1. What is the situation of harassment by PRC authorities of Christians (underground Protestants) in Hainan and area surrounding? Hainan province consists largely of the island of Hainan at the southern tip of China. Reports indicate that there is a small but growing Christian community in Hainan. Few reports were found that indicate any serious harassment of Christians in the province, although there are instances of meetings being stopped, buildings closed down, and a weblog closed. Estimates of numbers vary considerably between reports, from a minimum of about 37,000 to a maximum of over 300,000. The population of Hainan is about 8 million. The September 2004 and November 2004 issues of a Christian online journal called Asia Harvest provide recent information on the situation for Christians in Hainan. The articles concentrate on Protestant worship and provide optimistic estimates of the number of Christians in the province.
