On July 15, 2019, during the US State Department’s second Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom, the Coalition to Advance Religious Freedom in China held a side event called “Silicon Valley and China: The Rise of Religious Oppression Through Technology.” A persecuted Christian from The Church of Almighty God (CAG), a Uyghur, and a petitioner spoke on the CCP’s use of advanced technology to trample human rights, and called on US tech companies to stop their supply to China. The host Greg Mitchell, Co-Chair of the International Religious Freedom Roundtable, spoke on the state of religious persecution in China.
