The Center for Religious Freedom -- Freedom House Priority List Chinese Christians Persecuted for Religious Reasons July 14, 1999 Protestants 1. Peter Xu Yongze Pastor Peter Yongze Xu, China's most prominent underground Protestant leader, was sentenced to three years of labor camp on September 25, 1997, in Zhengzhou, Henan province, for "disrupting public order." His trial was closed to the public and he was denied a defense lawyer. Pastor Xu, the 56-year-old leader of the three-to four-million-strong New Birth Movement of evangelicals, was arrested on March 16, 1997, as he was meeting with other leaders of large evangelical churches in China. His wife and several of his associates were also imprisoned. 3. Liu Fenggang A 37-year-old active member of a unofficial Protestant house-church in Beijing, Liu was arrested on August 9, 1995, at his home as part of a general crackdown on the dissident community in Beijing prior to the UN Fourth World Conference on Women. In early December 1995, Liu was sentenced to 2.5 years of “re-education through labor.” 4. Wang Changqing A 52-year-old house-church leader of the Zhoukou Prefecture, Henan province, Wang and five other Christian house-church leaders were sentenced without trial to three years of “re-education through labor” on August 14, 1995. The house-church leaders were accused of belonging to outlawed religious organizations and scheming to overthrow the Communist Party with foreign religious groups. Wang and the other Christian house-church leaders denied belonging to any of these “outlawed” religious groups because they consider them heresies. Wang has been transferred to Henan’s Xuchang Labor Reform Center to begin his third prison term at a labor reform camp. 5. Zheng Yunsu Leader of popular Jesus Family religious community in Duoyigou, Shandong province, Christian Zheng was arrested in June 1992 with thirty-six other community members, including his four sons. Their arrests are thought to be in part the result of the community's May 1992 efforts to prevent security forces from tearing down their church. The elder Zheng was charged with holding "illegal" religious meetings, "leading a collective life," disturbing the peace and resisting arrest. Sentenced to 12 years of imprisonment, he is thought to be held at the Shengjian Motorcycle Factory labor camp near Jinan city. Other community members received sentences of five years (another source says three). Public Security Bureau officials raiding the church compound in June 1992 leveled the church and confiscated personal property. 6. Pei Zhongxun (Korean Name: Chun Chul) The 76-year-old ethnic Korean Protestant leader from Shanghai, Pei, was arrested in August 1983 for counter-revolutionary activities. Accused of spying for Taiwan (because of ties to Taiwanese Christians) and of distributing Bibles and other Christian literature to others in the house-church movement, he was charged with "counter-revolutionary crimes," and sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment. He is reportedly imprisoned in Shanghai Prison No. 2. His family is permitted to visit him for half-an-hour each month. 7. Wang Xin Cai Evangelical Wang was arrested with Pastor Peter Xu Yongze and imprisoned on March 16, 1997, in Zhengzhou, Henan. There is no further information on his legal situation. 8. Qin Musheng Evangelical Qin was arrested with Pastor Peter Xu Yongze and imprisoned on March 16, 1997, in Zhengzhou, Henan. He has been sentenced to two and a half years of education through labor. 9. Qing Jing Qing, the 30-year-old wife of Pastor Peter Xu Yongze, was arrested along with her husband on March 16, 1997, in Zhengzhou, Henan. She has been sentenced to one year of education through labor. 10. Sister Feng Xian Evangelical Feng was arrested with Pastor Peter Xu Yongze and imprisoned on March 16, 1997, in Zhengzhou, Henan. She has been sentenced to two and one half years of education through labor. 11. Su Yu Han The 37-year-old evangelical was imprisoned on July 25, 1996, and sentenced to a re-education labor camp for one and a half years. He is from the Tongnan neighborhood in Wu Tong town in Tong Xiang Country, Zhejiang Province, an area that has been targeted for severe repression by a specific Party directive. His house church with eight rooms was destroyed completely on the night of his arrest. All of his property was confiscated. 12. Wu Bing Fang The 22-year-old brother of imprisoned evangelical Su Yuhan was imprisoned on July 25, 1996, and sentenced to a re-education labor camp for one and a half years. He is from Xin Li neighborhood, Hong Yong town, Jia Xing district, Zhejiang Province. All of his property was confiscated. 13. Cao Wen Hai Evangelical Cao was imprisoned on August 10, 1997, in Ping Ding Shan, Henan. His hometown in Fang Cheng county, Henan Province, is known as the “Jerusalem of China” where the Chinese House church movement was initiated in the 1980's. He was helping in the ministries of millions of Christians in China. 14. Zhang Chun Xia Evangelical Zhang was imprisoned on August 10, 1997 in Ping Ding Shan, Henan. Her hometown in Fang Cheng county, Henan Province, is known as the “Jerusalem of China” where the Chinese House church movement was initiated in the 1980's. She was helping in the ministries of millions of Christians in China. 15. Zhao Song Yin Evangelical Cao was imprisoned on August 10, 1997, in Ping Ding Shan, Henan. His hometown in Fang Cheng county, Henan Province, is known as the “Jerusalem of China” where the Chinese House church movement was initiated in the 1980's. He was helping in the ministries of millions of Christians in China. 16. Philip Guoxing Xu Philip Xu is a 43-year-old evangelical traveling preacher and Bible teacher based in Shanghai, was arrested on June 16, 1997, and is presently in solitary confinement. Since late 1997, he has been allowed family visits and was allowed to send a letter from prison in May 1998. His legal situation is uncertain. He was sentenced without a trial to 3 years of labor camp (with labor at day and solitary confinement at night) in Da Fung in northern Jiangsu Province. His wife was turned away when she tried to visit him on October 22, 1997, after traveling 20 hours by bus from Shanghai. Previously, he had been arrested on March 14, 1989 for a ‘through investigation.” At that time the authorities found “no political motivation, no intention for collecting money, and no sexual misconduct,” he was released. He had also been arrested on November 6, 1989 while teaching a Bible study class, and was sentenced without trial to three years of labor camp. After completing that sentence, Guoxing was released. He is married, and now has a young daughter. His birthday is March 16, 1955. He lived in California between 1980 and 1982.

    2019 International Religious Freedom Report

    CHINA (INCLUDES TIBET, XINJIANG, HONG KONG, AND MACAU) 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary Reports on Hong Kong, Macau, Tibet, and Xinjiang are appended at the end of this report. The constitution, which cites the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and the guidance of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, states that citizens have freedom of religious belief but limits protections for religious practice to “normal religious activities” and does not define “normal.” Despite Chairman Xi Jinping’s decree that all members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) must be “unyielding Marxist atheists,” the government continued to exercise control over religion and restrict the activities and personal freedom of religious adherents that it perceived as threatening state or CCP interests, according to religious groups, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and international media reports. The government recognizes five official religions – Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism. Only religious groups belonging to the five state- sanctioned “patriotic religious associations” representing these religions are permitted to register with the government and officially permitted to hold worship services. There continued to be reports of deaths in custody and that the government tortured, physically abused, arrested, detained, sentenced to prison, subjected to forced indoctrination in CCP ideology, or harassed adherents of both registered and unregistered religious groups for activities related to their religious beliefs and practices. There were several reports of individuals committing suicide in detention, or, according to sources, as a result of being threatened and surveilled. In December Pastor Wang Yi was tried in secret and sentenced to nine years in prison by a court in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in connection to his peaceful advocacy for religious freedom.

In light of the assessment results, the quantified Boston matrix under multiple dimensions were compared with the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) under a single dimension. The comparison shows that the single-dimensional method achieved basically the same results with the multi-dimensional method, with some differences arising from government strategies. The multi-dimensional method can depict the competition between APs cold chain logistics centers more scientifically, intuitively, comprehensively and accurately than the single-dimensional method. KEYWORDS: AP cold chain logistics center; technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS); quantified the Boston matrix; dimension.
