#1 Then there's this: China's Xi Calls For Tighter Ideological Control In Universities
BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for greater "ideological guidance" in China's universities and urged the study of Marxism, state media reported on Monday, as the country tightens control on Western ideology.

Xi's comments are the latest sign of his politically conservative agenda and come amid a ratcheting up of controls over the media, dissidents and the internet.

Like many officials before him, Xi is steeped in the party's long-held belief that loosening control too quickly, or even at all, could lead to chaos and the break up of the country.

Xi's administration has overseen a crackdown on dissidents and on freedom of expression that many rights activists say is the most sustained and severe in years.

Last week, Chinese media reported that a university in northwestern China had banned Christmas, calling it a "kitsch" foreign celebration unbefitting of the country's own traditions and made students watch propaganda films instead.

#2 on paper the People’s Republic of China recognizes freedom of religion since 1978

No. China recognizes "freedom of worship", which is the same Marxist term that Obama is trying to impose on the United States.

You are allowed to worship as long as you keep it hidden from public view. Atheists, however, are allowed full access to public media, are allowed to advocate for atheism in public, and no one is allowed to criticize atheism.

Do not forget that Obama was mentored by Frank Marshal Davis, a card carrying member of the CPUSA, who left the party to join the Maoist faction. Even as the Chinese become a Christian, capitalist nation, Obama is trying to transform us into a Maoist country.

#3 Numbers are increasing, rather, in unofficial Protestant “house churches” and in the underground Catholic church.

Which may be one reason why Pope Francis did not meet with the ChiCom government-disliked Dali Lama.
