CCP Launches Nationwide Crackdown on Zion Church Beginning on October 9, 2025, Chinese authorities launched a coordinated nationwide crackdown against the unregistered Zion Church (锡安教会)—one of the country’s most prominent urban house churches. Police in Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Hainan detained or disappeared at least 30 pastors, preachers, and congregants, searching homes and confiscating personal devices. Senior pastors Jin Mingri (金明日) and Yin Huibin (尹会彬) were arrested in Guangxi and have not been heard from since, while Wang Lin (王林) was taken at Shenzhen Bao’an Airport. Authorities accuse them of “illegal online religious activity” (非法互联网信息宗教传播罪), a charge increasingly used to punish those who hold Bible studies, prayer meetings, or livestreamed sermons outside state control. The Zion Church’s leadership published an Emergency Statement on October 12, condemning the arrests as unconstitutional and appealing for international attention. Founded in 2007 and forcibly closed in 2018 for rejecting Party oversight, the church now faces its most serious repression to date. The operation marks a renewed national campaign to eradicate unregistered “house churches”: Christian congregations operating outside the CCP-controlled Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM). By framing digital worship as “network misuse,” authorities have opened a new frontier of control, one in which faith itself can be criminalized under cybersecurity law. The timing—just days after National Day—underscores Beijing’s ideological assertiveness amid tightening restrictions in Tibet, Xinjiang, and Hong Kong, and reflects the deepening centralization of religious life under Xi Jinping’s “Sinicization of Religion” (宗教中国化) campaign, which demands that all faiths serve the Party’s political and moral authority. This crackdown marks the erosion of the last remnants of religious autonomy in China. The Zion Church’s ordeal forms part of a broader project to discipline belief itself, extending state power into the most private spaces of conscience. It demands international attention, before the right to believe is extinguished in China.

10/13/25👀👉奥巴马医保(Obamacare, 又称平价医疗法案 Affordable Care Act, ACA)真相:“让工薪阶层为非法移民与不工作人群买单”,以捣毁工薪阶层,并壮大非法移民群体,以保证民猪党获得足够非法移民票基! 奥巴马医保由民主党在 2010 年主导通过,原本宣称目标是“让所有美国人都能负担得起医疗保险”。然而,实施十多年后,它被广泛批评为让中产与工薪阶层的医疗负担更加沉重。 在奥巴马医保体系下,虽然所有人被要求必须购买医疗保险,但保险公司被强制纳入大量联邦规定的“必要保障项目”(Essential Health Benefits),例如产妇护理、心理健康、戒毒治疗等。结果是——保险计划的**保费与自付额(deductible)**大幅上升,许多家庭每年支付数千美元保费,却因自付额过高,几乎从未能达到可报销门槛。换句话说,民众既要缴纳保险费,又要自掏腰包看病。 批评者指出,这项制度“设计上就是让工薪阶层为非法移民与不工作人群买单”。从 2014 年到 2021 年,保费与自付额持续攀升,许多中等收入家庭被迫退出市场或转为只购买灾难性医疗计划(catastrophic plan)。 在乔·拜登政府上任后,民主党为掩盖奥巴马医保费用不断飙升的现实,于 2021 年通过了临时补贴(temporary subsidies),用联邦纳税人的钱去补贴投保者,使保费看似下降。该补贴政策预计将于 2025 年 12 月 31 日到期。 如今,民主党正在推动国会延长甚至扩大这些补贴,以维持“可负担”的假象。批评人士称,这只是“延命措施”,继续掩盖 ACA 制度结构性失衡的问题, 经济学家指出,若补贴到期,美国医疗保险市场可能出现价格震荡,数百万中产家庭的保费将暴涨数千美元 简言之,奥巴马医保原本的理想——“人人可保”,在现实中却演变成高保费、高自付额、低使用率的体系。而当前民主党的延补政策,不过是延迟其结构性崩溃的又一轮政治操作。 …
