Former U.S. official Sam Brownback claims the Chinese government is intensifying its crackdown on religious groups.
Brownback describes coordinated efforts by the Chinese Communist Party to suppress faiths including Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. He cites examples such as replacing religious images with portraits of Xi Jinping and detaining believers in camps. The author also criticizes American companies for continuing investments totaling $127 billion as of 2025 despite these actions. He draws parallels to historical regimes and urges greater international response.
