Chinese churches ordered to close during Olympics

Aug 19, 2008

Daniel Burton is with the China Aid Association, which discovered the directive. He says the communist Chinese government will go to great lengths to create a seemingly harmonious society.

"That's what they're presenting to the international community," Burton observes. "Well, at the same time they're treating their own people with disregard for basic human rights...[t]his is definitely a two-faced government we're seeing here."

Burton encourages Christians to pray for Christians in China, and also to contact the Chinese ambassador to the United States and protest the human-rights violations.
