Perhaps that’s what the Chinese government fears most: the sort of spiritual and psychological transformation that undid Soviet communism. Yes, the Beijing government possesses many tools of tyranny, including its new social credit system. And yet no tool that the communists possess can get inside the human soul.
Thus the godless authoritarians—by turns, cruel toward their people and fearful of the future—are left to rage.
In the meantime, the faithful of all faiths, knowing that their greatest power is hidden in their own souls, might prayerfully hope that better days will come to China.
