ChinaAid：2014 Annual Report Religious and Human Rights Persecution in China

Introduction

In 2014, Christians and practitioners of other faiths in China experienced the harshest persecution seen in over a decade, including draconian measures taken by Xi Jinping’s Administration to eliminate all religious, political, and social dissent. Noting China Aid predominately receives reports of abuse from Christian communities in China, the following information and data predominately reflects persecution against Christians. The increase in government-sanctioned persecution against religious practitioners and human rights lawyers and advocates reflects the overall political transformation that is occurring within the Communist Party in China (CPC), namely an orchestrated effort to consolidate power and suppress dissent and any perceived threats to the Chinese government, including the growth of religion in China.
