Christians in Chinas Heartland

https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-Pacific/2018/0807/Christians-in-China-s-heartland-face-government-suppression

Religious freedom has been part of the Chinese Constitution since 1982 so you may ask yourselves, why is President Xi Jinping cracking down on Christians in China? China's current president has been seen as the country's most powerful leader since Mao Zedong. The president and the Communist party have been seen as being atheist even in the time when the country is undergoing a religious revival. many people believe that this is due to the fact that the president is trying to incorporate Chinese characteristics into all of the religions within China itself.
This is an example of what Chinese police officers did to an at home church. The main reason as to which President Xi is doing this is because he is scared that Christians are changing the thought process and instead of worshipping him they are going to be worshipping God.
