Surveillance cameras, government spies and facial recognition scanners are everywhere, and the totalitarian "social credit score" system that is currently being rolled out is an absolute nightmare.  And the Chinese government is not content to simply control how people behave.  They also want to literally control what people believe, and the ongoing crackdown on the Christian faith has been absolutely brutal. 

Over the past several years, scores of pastors have been arrested, countless underground churches have been shut down, and thousands of Bibles have been burned.  Unfortunately, that wasn't enough for Chinese officials, and so they have now taken things to an entirely new level.
