Religious activity grew not only among the five main religions, recognized fby the government - Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism, but also among Korean Christians, Russian Orthodox, and folk religions. Bibles and other religious texts were available in most parts of the country. At the same time, crackdowns against unregistered Protestants and Catholics, Muslim Uighurs, and Tibetan Buddhists continued. The government continued its repression of groups that it determined to be "cults" and of the Falun Gong spiritual movement in particular.
