Chinese Communists’ Latest Religious Crackdown Forces People to Register on Religion App

Following reports the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is attempting to rewrite the Bible in its own image, there’s another troubling allegation about the restrictive government — that officials are testing out a new app demanding citizens pre-register before attending religious services. “This spring, in Henan province, they rolled out an app to get approval to go to any kind of religious service,” Todd Nettleton, chief of media relations for persecution watchdog The Voice of the Martyrs told CBN’s Faithwire. “What that means is, you need to have the app on your phone.” He continued, “You need to pre-register in order to go to a religious gathering, give the Chinese government all of your information, tell them who you are, where you live, your ID information. and so forth.” People in the People’s Republic of China are then able to get approval to attend the gathering once they’ve gone through this process – and it’s something only available for churches registered with the CCP; house churches and other unsanctioned gatherings aren’t permitted under any circumstances. “If the authorities come into a church service … they simply ask everyone, ‘Hey, pull out your phone. open up the app. We want to see, did you sign up beforehand? Did you get approval beforehand?'” Nettleton explained. Watch him describe the app and the CCP’s reported church requirements. CBN News.
