China intensifies repression of Christianity, warns report

As tensions rise over Taiwan, various media outlets speculate on China's military intentions, with ABC News suggesting a potential invasion by 2027. The narrative emphasizes Taiwan's military capabilities, which surpass those of Australia, while commentators like Andrew Bolt express concerns about Australia's vulnerability. A recent U.S. intelligence report highlights China as a significant military threat, prompting discussions on U.S. strategies to counter Chinese influence, particularly through irregular warfare. Additionally, Bob Fu from ChinaAid warns of the CCP's global repression efforts and its intensified crackdown on dissent, particularly under Xi Jinping's leadership. This includes targeting Chinese dissidents abroad and suppressing religious freedoms within China, where Christians face escalating persecution. Efforts by U.S. lawmakers to address these issues through proposed legislation indicate growing awareness of the CCP's transnational intimidation tactics.
