Religious tolerance in China is unlikely to follow in the wake of economic liberalism

1 MIN READ
Religious tolerance in China is unlikely to follow in the wake of economic liberalism. More than 23,000 people have been arrested for unauthorised worship since 1983. At least 123 people have been sentenced to death, mainly for association with the Falun Gong movement.
Roman Catholic bishops have spent decades in jail, Protestant evangelicals have found themselves on death row and thousands of Falun Gong members have been sent to mental asylums.
