2026年1月初,中国当局在全国协调打击未登记的基督教教堂,武装警察包围温州Yayang教堂,拆除十字架,并拘留成员。 In early January 2026, Chinese authorities launched a coordinated nationwide crackdown on unregistered Christian churches, with armed police surrounding Yayang Church in Wenzhou, removing its cross, and detaining members. 在成都和山西也发生了类似行动,教会领导人在那里被逮捕,并被指控犯有欺诈等模糊罪行。 Similar operations occurred in Chengdu and Shanxi, where church leaders were arrested and charged with vague offenses like fraud. 这些行动跨越多个省份,表明要作出集中指导的努力,通过政府批准的团体对国家宗教实践实行控制,压制被视为对政治稳定和意识形态统一构成威胁的独立礼拜。 The actions, spanning multiple provinces, suggest a centrally directed effort to enforce state control over religious practice through government-sanctioned groups, suppressing independent worship deemed a threat to political stability and ideological unity.
