In another Chinese city, students wearing red armbands hit Catholics with sharp wooden sticks, throwing one priest into a fire pit after he collapsed in pain. They beat one nun to death after she refused to stomp on a statue of the Virgin Mary.
One Catholic priest was buried alive in Beijing after declining to give up his faith.
Unsettling as they might be, these acts of brutality documented by Hong Kong-based missionary Sergio Ticozzi were hardly out of the norm for faithful Chinese during the frenzy of the decade-long Cultural Revolution from 1966, when all forms of religious practices were declared “superstitious” and banned.
Nor was such repression unique to that particular period during the regime’s more than 70 years of ruling China.

CCP seeks to exert total control on its members and all Chinese's religions
Belief in a higher power is anathema to the atheist Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that for 100 years has sought to command absolute loyalty and control over its members and the Chinese people.
“They just cannot handle an allegiance other than to the state,” Sam Brownback, former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom, told The Epoch Times.
Marking the Party’s centennial, the heads of six state-level religious associations met in June and extolled the CCP leadership. Expressing resolve to “always follow the Party,” they pledged to begin an education campaign to deepen “love for the Party” among their religious circles.
Pastor Bob Fu, the founder of Christian human rights group China Aid, described the CCP as the “world’s largest extreme atheistic Party.”
“[The] CCP has committed the worst religious persecution and crimes against humanity,” Fu told The Epoch Times.
In the words of Sam Brownback, the CCP is “at war with faith”—be it Christians, Tibetan Buddhists, Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in Xinjiang, or the Falun Gong meditation discipline.
“It’s a war they will not win,” Brownback said.

Chinese Communism has no tolerance with religions
One year after the CCP took power in 1949, Chinese troops marched into Tibet and forced upon the Tibetans a 17-point agreement to legitimize the CCP’s rule. Yet despite rosy promises of Tibetan autonomy on paper, Beijing turned the region into a surveillance state and installed labor camps.
The Dalai Lama, the region’s spiritual leader, went into exile in India in 1959 after the regime brutally crushed an uprising, killing tens of thousands of Tibetans. In the 20 years following, about 1.2 million Tibetans have died under the regime’s repressive policies, according to estimates by the Tibetan government-in-exile. More than 150 have resorted to setting themselves on fire in a desperate act of defiance.
Police routinely monitor private correspondence, search homes, and examine phone records in search of forbidden content such as “reactionary music” from India, according to the latest U.S. State Department report. Provincial officials also banned students from participating in religious activities during school holidays. The report cited 273 Tibetans being “detained in violation of international human rights standards as of late 2019.”
A Tibetan herder named Lhamo, a 36-year-old mother of three, was detained in June 2020 for sending money to her family in India. The family members who saw her two months later found her “badly bruised and unable to speak,” according to advocacy group Human Rights Watch. She died days later at a local hospital and was immediately cremated.
With the current Tibetan spiritual leader in his 86th year, Beijing has made clear it wants a hand in selecting his successor. In a white paper issued in May, China’s State Council said it had identified and approved “92 reincarnated Living Buddhas”—indicating its intent to choose the next Dalai Lama when the current one passes away.
“The CCP practices a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to religious believers,” Lobsang Tseten, executive director of U.S.-based Tibetan activist group Students for a Free Tibet, told The Epoch Times. He added that the “CCP’s arbitrary rule in Tibet is a direct threat to every aspect of the life of a Tibetan.”

CCP keeps clamping down on Christian churches
The CCP’s suppression of Catholic and Protestant churches has also intensified under current leader Xi Jinping’s watch.
Chinese authorities have removed thousands of crosses from churches, arrested pastors, ordered the removal of Christian images, and aggressively pursued a “sinicization” policy by establishing “patriotic churches,” in which pictures of Jesus Chris and the Virgin Mary are replaced with portraits of Xi or Mao.

Chinese Christians fined for celebrating Christmas
In 2017, at least four cities and one province restricted Christmas celebrations, banning displays of Christmas decorations, themed performances, and promotional activities. Communist officials in one university banned activities related to Western religious holidays in the name of helping the younger generation “build cultural confidence.” One Christian this January received a hefty fine of 160,000 yuan ($24,733) for celebrating the holiday.

Underground churches regarded as illegal businesses in CCP China
Underground churches have proliferated as a result of the regime’s oppression. In response, Chinese officials have detained church members and handed lengthy prison sentences to pastors.
Wang Yi, a pastor in central China’s Chengdu who founded one of the country’s largest unregistered Christian churches, was sentenced to nine years in prison in December 2019 for “illegal business operations” and “inciting to subvert state power,” a charge the regime frequently uses to silence dissidents.
As a result, successive Party leaders have launched campaign after campaign to crush and control people of faith in China.

CCP sanctions all religions
Mao Zedong, the first CCP leader, who oversaw one of the most thorough campaigns to dismantle Chinese religious life, compared religion to “poison” in a conversation with Tibet’s exiled leader, the Dalai Lama. In his autobiography, the Dalai Lama recalls Mao telling him in 1954 that religion “undermines the race” and “retards the progress of the country.”
Former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin in 1993 declared religious freedom to be “unsuitable for Party members” and told Party members to “patiently educate” those with faith to help them “get rid of religious shackles.”
Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism, and Christianity—the five religions the regime has officially sanctioned—remain under rigid state control, with Party officials setting the terms on how they operate.
Chinese officials for religious affairs have stressed the need to “guide religion with socialist values” and for devotees to possess “gratitude toward the Party.”
Under the Party’s rules, members also face possible expulsion for believing in religion or engaging in “superstitious activities.”

Muslims in CCP China under torture: ‘Each Day the Party Is Becoming Bolder’
In the far west region of Xinjiang, over 1 million Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities are currently being held in Chinese internment camps—which the regime calls “vocational training centers” ostensibly used for “curbing extremism”—where they face forced labor, torture, sexual abuse, political indoctrination, forced abortion, and forced sterilization.
Led by the United States, a growing number of countries, including Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, have recognized the suppression campaign as a form of genocide.
“The genocide of the Uyghurs is ongoing still, and each day the Party is becoming bolder,” Rushan Abbas, executive director of Washington-based nonprofit Campaign for Uyghurs, said in a June 30 statement, one day ahead of the CCP’s centennial celebration. “This is our final wake-up call that the CCP must be stopped if we are to preserve a global system of dignity and order that is respected by all.”
A recent report by two Washington-based organizations—Oxus Society for Central Asian Affairs and Uyghur Human Rights Project—showed that at least 28 countries in the world were “complicit in China’s harassment and intimidation of Uyghurs.” Many of these countries had strong economic ties to China, including those that have signed up to China’s Belt and Road initiative (BRI, also known as One Belt, One Road).
“As China expands its role globally through the BRI, more states will likely become locked into relations of dependence, increasing China’s ability to coerce or co-opt them to assist in targeting diaspora members and exiles,” according to the report.

Persecution on Chinese New Age Movement: ‘We Can Make You Disappear’
Nowhere is the CCP’s hatred for religion more evident than in its bloody suppression of practitioners of Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline with slow meditative exercises and moral teachings based on the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance, according to its website.
Out of fear of Falun Gong’s popularity in China, then-leader Jiang on July 20, 1999, launched a brutal persecution against adherents. Top Chinese officials gave secret orders to “destroy them politically, bankrupt them financially, ruin their reputation,” according to a former military colonel who attended the meeting.
Since then, millions of Falun Gong adherents have been held in prisons, labor camps, psychiatric hospitals, and other detention facilities in China. Hundreds of thousands have been tortured in those venues in a bid to force practitioners to give up their belief. An untold number have died under China’s state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting, with their organs cut out to be sold on the transplant market.
The persecution has continued to this day.
Over the first five months of 2021, 599 Falun Gong practitioners are documented to have been sentenced for their faith; one of them, 81 years old, received nine years, according to data from Minghui.org, a U.S.-based website that monitors the persecution of the faith group. More than 15,000 were documented to have experienced harassment or arrests last year.
Lured by handsome bonuses, police and local officials last year began a sweeping “Zero-Out Campaign” going after adherents country-wide, Minghui reported. The adherents were told to sign a statement renouncing their faith or see their pensions, careers, or children’s education imperiled.
“We can make you disappear if we say the word,” one officer from China’s northernmost province Heilongjiang allegedly told an adherent.
Guo Zhenfang, from Chifeng city in Southeastern Inner Mongolia, died in June, one day after his trial. At the hospital, his family found bloodstains on his nose and a wound around his knee cap. His back from the waist down had turned “purple-red,” according to Minghui. Dozens of plain-clothed police officers blocked the family from further examining the body and sent it to the crematorium without their consent.
Lü Songming, a former history teacher at a middle school from southern China’s Hunan Province, spent a total of 14 years in jail. He lost around 20 teeth to beating, forced labor, electrocution, and other forms of torture. When he was released in 2018, he had only six teeth left and was no longer fit to work. He suffered from frequent heart failure, eventually dying in March at the age of 53.

CCP is showing ‘a real weakness’ by increasing brutal, inhumane tactics
Former Ambassador Brownback observed that increasingly in Xi’s China, brutal, inhumane tactics from the Mao era are making a comeback.
But in its rush to assert power over China’s faithful, Brownback said, the regime is “showing a real weakness.”
“They must be feeling the loss of control, and so they are being far more repressive and brutal,” he said.
Beijing’s human rights and religious freedom abuses are costing the regime its global image, while at home, it is hurting its ability to maintain its rule, said Brownback.
“Communism and faith just have great trouble co-existing, and faith will not be subdued, so eventually the communism will fall,” he said.
What remains of the CCP’s 100-year legacy, said Pastor Fu, will be its record as “the single political party through which the largest number of human lives were arbitrarily lost … in the whole of human history.”

Evolutionary Biologist: Sudden shift in COVID-19 lab leak narrative "Mysterious"
Reporters : Isabel Van Brugen and Jan Jekeliek / Publisher : The Epoch Times PREMIUM
The sudden shift in narrative over the possibility that COVID-19 could have emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, is mysterious and contingent to “just how corrupt our system has become,” according to evolutionary biologist Bret Weinstein.
Weinstein, biologist and co-host of the DarkHorse Podcast, has since last year explored the possibility that COVID-19 could have emerged from a laboratory. He told Epoch TV’s “American Thought Leaders” program (episode premiering on Sat. July 3) that the fact that the hypothesis is now receiving widespread recognition from the international community is “completely mysterious.”
“My channel was very early on this topic, and it was quite clear to many of us, starting with the tremendous coincidence of this virus having emerged first in Wuhan, where there is a biosafety level four lab studying these very viruses and enhancing them,” said Weinstein. “It was quite clear that there was at least a viable hypothesis that needed to be discussed.
Weinstein, a visiting fellow at the James Madison Program at Princeton University, said that before the narrative surrounding the COVID-19 lab leak theory gained traction, those who did discuss it were stigmatized, demonized and “portrayed as everything from racist to reactionary.”
“All we were doing was following the evidence,” Weinstein continued. “The change in that story was, I have to say, completely mysterious.”
While the theory that the virus was the result of a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) was labeled a “conspiracy theory” last year, it has recently gained traction as a growing number of scientists and officials have lent credence to the hypothesis.
A January State Department fact sheet raised questions about whether the outbreak could have been the result of a lab accident at WIV. It said the United States has “reason to believe” that several WIV researchers became sick with symptoms consistent with both COVID-19 and common seasonal illnesses in autumn 2019. The department also said the lab had been conducting secret military experiments on animals since at least 2017, and that it has a history of conducting gain-of-function research on viruses. Such research involves modifying viruses to have new or enhanced capabilities.
President Joe Biden on May 26 ordered the intelligence community to produce a report in 90 days on the origins of the virus, saying that intelligence agencies are looking at rival theories, including the possibility of a laboratory accident in China.
Weinstein criticized the explanations provided in recent weeks by “all of those who had gotten the story wrong” after the lab leak theory gained wider recognition.
PolitiFact, for example, on May 24 quietly retracted a September 2020 fact check that labeled a Hong Kong virologist’s claim that COVID-19 originated in a lab as inaccurate and a “debunked conspiracy theory.”
“The claim is inaccurate and ridiculous,” the now-archived fact check previously said. “We rate it Pants on Fire!”
In an updated editor’s note, PolitiFact explained why it removed the label.
“When this fact-check was first published in September 2020, PolitiFact’s sources included researchers who asserted the SARS-CoV-2 virus could not have been manipulated. That assertion is now more widely disputed,” the note said. “For that reason, we are removing this fact-check from our database pending a more thorough review. Currently, we consider the claim to be unsupported by evidence and in dispute.”
Separately, the Washington Post quietly walked back its claims regarding the COVID-19 lab leak theory.
The paper in February 2020 published an article claiming the idea was a “conspiracy theory” that had been “debunked.” The article attacked Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), who called for an investigation into the origins of the CCP virus.
Some reporters have said that they disregarded the lab leak theory because Republicans were largely the ones promoting the idea.
Weinstein described the phenomenon as “a headlong rush, by all of those who had gotten the story wrong to explain themselves—and their explanations made less than no sense.”
He said that certain journalists or media outlets “seemed to center on the fact that because [former President] Donald Trump had been favorable to the idea that this might have emerged from a lab, that that made it not true.”
“Which, of course, is such an illogical conclusion that it’s hard to imagine how anybody who considers himself a journalist could for a moment have been misled,” he continued. “I mean, at worst, if you thought everything that Donald Trump said was a lie—at worst, you would have to take it as no evidence either way.
“But that’s not how people treated it. They treated it almost as if the truth was always the opposite of what he said.”
Other outlets have also corrected or quietly updated stories, including Vox, while Facebook stopped banning posts suggesting the virus was man-made.
Weinstein said that he believes it eventually became “impossible to maintain the public lie that a laboratory version was somehow in conflict with the evidence.”
“And we now know from Dr. Fauci, his emails, that behind the scenes, the top people didn’t believe it either. They were just simply feeding the public a line that they had their own reasons for wanting the public to believe,” he said.
“It is contingent on the several different stories that surround COVID-19, revealing to us just how corrupt our system has become.”

CCP China's new travel notice to Cambodia takes effect from 11 July 2021
‘China is our main market. Cambodia was planning to start with them first,” a slightly disturbed Thourn Sinan, Cambodia chapter chairman for Pacific Asia Travel Association, said regarding a notice by the Chinese embassy in Cambodia on compulsory quarantine and Covid-19 tests before flying to China. “We are worried about this, especially when the government has been working hard to start vaccinated tourism.”
On June 26, the embassy issued an “urgent notice” requiring travellers to China from Cambodia to quarantine for 14 days, including the flight day, in airline-designated hotels.
They would have to undergo “dual detection” tests – nucleic acid and serum antibody – at the Royal Cambodian Army Hospital and the National Institute of Public Health at their own expense.
Both Chinese citizens and foreigners must then apply for an international health code from the embassy and submit necessary documents prior to departure. The notice takes effect on July 11.
The embassy, on its website, said the compulsory measures were implemented as the number of confirmed novel coronavirus cases “imported from Cambodia remained high” and “many travellers were infected on the way to China”.
It advised people to assess their need to travel, given that the global epidemic is serious and the risk of cross-infection is relatively high.
The Cambodian government in the past has allegedly dismissed the existence of exported cases involving Chinese nationals who tested positive upon return in Guangzhou city, which is one of the main entry points for flights from Cambodia.
A news report by Hong Kong-listed Tencent Holdings Ltd’s QQ web portal, quoting Guangzhou Municipal People’s Government, revealed a chart by Nandu Big Data Research Institute where imported asymptomatic Covid-19 cases from Cambodia was highest at 19.
The figure represented 32 per cent of the total imported cases between May 21 and June 20 this year in Guangzhou.
Cambodia was among 22 countries including Malaysia, Cameroon and Bangladesh identified by the research institute, which has been tracking imported cases since January 30 last year.
The information by the municipal was made public together with detailed measures on prevention and control of imported cases in a media conference on June 21, following a surge in cases in the Guangdong province where Guangzhou is its capital city.
According to QQ’s report, the event was attended by officials from Guangzhou Municipal Health Commission, Guangzhou Border Inspection, two Chinese airlines and the Guangzhou port.
Back in Cambodia, the Chinese embassy said following the tests, which are required two days before departure, “isolation certificates” would be issued to travellers by the respective airlines, and expenses such as food and lodging can be negotiated with the airline. It also listed the contact for some 10 Chinese and Cambodian airlines that served both markets.
Given that Chinese travellers make up the mass of airline passengers and tourist numbers in the Kingdom, the embassy’s decision reverberated through the travel sector.

Covid cases continue to rise in China and Cambodia despite Sinovac CoronaVac vaccination
Although vaccination is being rolled out at fever pitch in both China and Cambodia, positive Covid-19 cases continue to rise, particularly with the Delta strain detected in new infections.
The new variant threatens to pushmedical practitioners over the edge, with Health Minister Dr Mam Bunheng declaring the present community transmission as having reached “a red line”.
Going beyond it could result in widespread infection, increased fatalities and further disruption to daily living, while entailing a lockdown to contain the spread.
According to the Health Ministry, the variant has been detected in 22 persons as of June 29, all being import cases from Thailand.
Quarantine period for Delta and Delta Plus, a mutation of the variant, has been extended to 21 days from 14 days with land, sea and air borders tightened along with rapid testing on returning migrant workers.
As of July 1, Cambodia recorded 628 fatalities on the back of 51,384 cases as provinces registered daily spikes in recent weeks amid restrictive movements.

Expert: WHO does not have the ability to investigate virus traceability
Reporter : Liu Minghuan / Editor: Deming / https://www.ntdtv.com/gb/2021/07/03/a103157223.html / Direct translation
The World Health Organization is currently formulating the next phase of the CCP virus traceability investigation and hopes that China can cooperate. However, more and more scientists say that the WHO does not have the ability to lead this investigation, so it should not be allowed to conduct the investigation.
The Associated Press reported on July 2 that some experts, including those close to the WHO, said that it is impossible to obtain credible answers to an investigation led by the WHO.
They believe that what is needed now is an extensive independent investigation, similar to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster investigation in Russia in 1986.
The Associated Press quoted Lawrence Gostin, director of the WHO Center for Public Health Law and Human Rights Cooperation at Georgetown University, as saying, "If we rely on the WHO, we will never be able to find the source of the virus."
Gostin said, "For a year and a half, the World Health Organization has been at the mercy of China (the CCP). It is very clear that the World Health Organization cannot find out the truth."
Jamie Metzl, a member of the WHO advisory group, and some of his colleagues put forward a suggestion that the parties concerned should study the feasibility of establishing a new investigation team to be responsible for the investigation by the Group of Seven.
The first phase of the WHO mission requires China’s consent. It not only agrees to the entry of WHO experts, but also agrees to the entire agenda of the investigation, and agrees to the final investigation report proposed by the experts.
Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University in the United States, calls it "mischief." He said that determining whether the virus came from an animal or leaked from a laboratory is first of all a scientific problem, a problem that is beyond the scope of the WHO's expertise and has political implications.
The first phase of the virus traceability investigation jointly conducted by the WHO and China ended in March this year. The investigation concluded that the CCP virus may have been transmitted to humans through animals, and laboratory leaks are "extremely unlikely."
But recently, the view that the Chinese Communist Party virus may be caused by a laboratory leak has gained more support.
US Secretary of State Blinken said on June 13 that the first WHO investigation was "very flawed."
U.S. President Biden ordered the U.S. intelligence system to produce a study on the source of the virus within 90 days.
Before the WHO released the report, the Wall Street Journal and Reuters respectively quoted WHO investigators as saying that the Chinese Communist Party refused to provide investigators with the original and personal characteristics of the 174 early-stage cases detected in the early stage of the outbreak in Wuhan, China in December 2019.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also admitted that the investigation team intended to obtain data in China but was blocked, so further investigations are required.
Dr. Mike Ryan, director of WHO's emergency projects, said in June that WHO's work on the next phase of the investigation plan is nearing completion. However, Ryan emphasized that WHO can only use "persuasion" to seek assistance from China and it has no power. Forcing China to cooperate.
There is a view that this is exactly why the WHO-led investigation is doomed to fail.
The last time humans discovered the closest gene to the CCP virus was in 2012. Six workers who worked in an abandoned mine in Tongguan Town, Mojiang, Yunnan, China, suffered from pneumonia after contacting virus-carrying bats. However, the Chinese authorities blocked the mine in 2020, confiscated the virus samples obtained by the scientists, and ordered local people not to talk to reporters about this matter.
A survey conducted by the Associated Press in December found that Beijing imposed various restrictions on research papers on the CCP virus, forcing all relevant papers to be reviewed by a central agency.
On 20 June, US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in an interview with the Fox program "Fox News Sunday" that if China (the Chinese Communist Party) does not cooperate with the coronavirus (Chinese Communist Party virus) further investigation into the origin of the epidemic will face "isolation of the international community".

Xi Jinping's July 1 speech claimed to "smash the Taiwan independence plot," and the US officials immediately called for a peaceful resolution of the Taiwan issue. The US Pacific Fleet also posted on Facebook the ones sent to the Taiwan Strait during the Taiwan Strait crisis. Photo of aircraft carrier. According to US media reports, the commander of the fleet also publicly stated recently that it is his duty to prevent the CCP from taking over Taiwan.
The US "Seapower" magazine reported on June 30 that the commander of the US Pacific Fleet, Sam Paparo, said at a military seminar in the United States on the 29th that he was worried that the CCP was an ever-increasing threat, but He is full of confidence in his troops, allies, and combat strategies, and believes that any attempt by the CCP to attack Taiwan by force can be thwarted.
Paparo said that he fully agrees with General Philip Davidson, the former commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, that the CCP may violate Taiwan by force within six years. However, Paparo said that whether it is tomorrow, next year or six years later, the Indo-Pacific Fleet or Indo-Pacific Command has the responsibility to prepare for the threats against the United States.
Paparo emphasized that his duty is to enable the US fleet to defeat the CCP’s ambitions to subvert the world order, including preventing the CCP from military control of Taiwan. He also believes that with the efforts of various parties, he is confident that the CCP can be stopped.
Paparo mentioned that the U.S. Navy's second, third, and fourth fleets are ready and ready to be deployed anywhere in the world where they need it.
On July 1, the Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping made tough remarks at the "Party Celebration" event in Tiananmen Square, claiming that he would "smash the Taiwan independence plot" and confront "foreign forces". The next day, the US Pacific Fleet posted a photo of the USS Independence (CV62) aircraft carrier on Facebook and mentioned the “celebration”. This move was accused of being full of meaning.
In 1996, the CCP conducted military exercises and launched missiles across the Taiwan Strait. The United States deployed the Independence and USS Nimitz aircraft carriers close to the Taiwan Strait. The situation was once critical.
The US State Department spokesperson also stated after Xi Jinping’s "July 1" speech that the United States urges Beijing to stop exerting military, diplomatic, and economic pressure on Taiwan, and will continue to support the peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues, while urging China to engage in meaningful dialogue with Taiwan.
