China's Religious Persecution Report (2015-2016): An Executive Summary

From the article:

Strasbourg—Oct. 5, 2016) As China regresses into a more Maoist regime, the Communist Party continues to place restrictive measures on religious freedom and executes its control over all forms of dissent by arresting or otherwise harassing those who oppose the strictures.................

His words reinforced a pre-existing nationwide crackdown on religious institutions, including an ongoing cross demolition campaign, arbitrary arrests of pastors and lawyers, and the suppression of Tibetan Buddhists and Uyghur Muslims. Because China Aid receives reports on Christian persecution, this summary will spotlight their cases as examples indicative of a much wider repression of belief.

Yet more intolerance directed at religion.

Sorry but that makes me suspect right there on thier picture they paint of China

I can speculate but if it is Christians you are worried about not too much worry as China is predicted to become the largest Christian nation with in this next generation
If it is Muslims, well a lot can be done right here in USA to stop that intolerance
