The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is allegedly removing crosses from churches and replacing pictures of Jesus Christ with those of President Xi Jinping. A study by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom reveals that the alterations also include editing religious texts and requiring clergy to deliver messages aligned with CCP ideology.

This campaign is described in the report as the “Sinicization of religion,” a process where religious practices are aligned to fit Chinese state mandates. This move is part of a broader attempt by the CCP to bring religious groups under its control, forcing them to register with state-controlled associations. For Catholic churches, this requires enrollment in the Bishops’ Conference of the Catholic Church in China, managed by the CCP.
