    Religious Suppression in China: The Legal Underpinnings and Practical Implications of China's Systematic Repression of Religion Addendum - Incident Tracker Report International Christian Concern P. O. Box 8056 Silver Spring, MD 20907 Copyright © 2020 Title of All Religious Activities for Catholic Youth Prohibited incident: Date of March 2019 – July 2019 incident: Types of ☐ Sinicization ☒ ☐Arrests/Disappea ☒ Social Pressure incident: Demolition/Closure rance of Christians of Churches ☒ Under Legal ☐ Others (please Framework specify) Summary: In the name of separating religion from education, children do not have any contact with the faith of any religion, raised as obedient atheist followers of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It is increasingly difficult after the 2018 Revised Religious Regulations. The Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association, the China‐approved Catholic Church., is being forced to close their kindergartens due to the Religious Affairs Bureau clamping down. Even in state‐run Three‐Self churches, allowing children from entering into churches or any other religious event is prohibited. CCP’s goal is to shut down all churches in China. Closing down kindergartens, a significant source of economic support, the churches struggle to find funding in other places. The government will not allow a school to be near a temple or a church. They are attempting to close off any chance of children being exposed to religion at all in Taiyuan, the capital of the northern province of Shanxi. Any Sunday school classes, bible studies, or youth clubs were all shut down. A youth club in Hubei shut down the same day it opened. A 14‐day bible class offered by a state‐run church was discovered and dismissed before it began.

    The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, Volume XLII-2/W7, 2017 ISPRS Geospatial Week 2017, 18–22 September 2017, Wuhan, China ECOSYSTEM HEALTH ASSESSMENT OF MINING CITIES BASED ON LANDSCAPE PATTERN Weixuan Yu a, Yue Liu a, Meng Lin a, Feiguo Fang b, Rui Xiao a, * a School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, China - (wxyu, yliu_rs, mlin_, rxiao) @whu.edu.cn b School of Resource and Environmental Sciences, Wuhan University, China - ([email protected]) KEY WORDS: Landscape pattern, Ecosystem health, Assessment index system, VOR model, Panji District ABSTRACT: Ecosystem health assessment (EHA) is one of the most important aspects in ecosystem management. Nowadays, ecological environment of mining cities is facing various problems. In this study, through ecosystem health theory and remote sensing images in 2005, 2009 and 2013, landscape pattern analysis and Vigor-Organization-Resilience (VOR) model were applied to set up an evaluation index system of ecosystem health of mining city to assess the healthy level of ecosystem in Panji District Huainan city. Results showed a temporal stable but high spatial heterogeneity landscape pattern during 2005-2013. According to the regional ecosystem health index, it experienced a rapid decline after a slight increase, and finally it maintained at an ordinary level. Among these areas, a significant distinction was presented in different towns. It indicates that the ecosystem health of Tianjijiedao town, the regional administrative centre, descended rapidly during the study period, and turned into the worst level in the study area. While the Hetuan Town, located in the northwestern suburb area of Panji District, stayed on a relatively better level than other towns.
