Issues

In 2017, Christian villagers living there have been asked by the Chinese government to replace religious artefacts with pictures of Chinese Communist Party general secretary Xi Jinping. It is part of a poverty relief program funded by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). According to Christianity Today, "thousands of Christian villagers in China have been told to take down displays of Jesus, crosses, and gospel passages from their homes as part of a government propaganda effort to “transform believers in religion into believers in the party.”" It is found that some CPC members believe families’ faith is to blame for their financial woes, and the poster swaps in villagers’ homes represent the party's desire to have residents look to their leaders, rather than their Savior, for assistance. SCMP, on the other hand, compares it to "a practice that hearkens back to the era of the personality cult around late chairman Mao Zedong, whose portraits were once ubiquitous in Chinese homes."

In Huangjinbu Township, CCP cadres visited poor Christians’ homes and claimed that they had successfully "melted the hard ice in their hearts" while “transforming them from believing in religion to believing in the Party." As a result, more than 600 villagers “voluntarily” got rid of the religious texts and paintings they had in their homes while replacing them with 453 portraits of Xi.

Qi Yan, member of the People's Congress at Huangjinbu, claimed that "it [the program] focused on teaching Christian families how much the party had done to help eradicate poverty and how much concern Xi had shown for their well-being." He also claimed that "many poor households have plunged into poverty because of illness, and some resorted to believing in Jesus to cure their illnesses,” while also claiming that "the people who can really help them are the Communist Party and CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping.”

A person named Liu told to SCMP that "some villagers do not do it voluntarily", as opposed to what state media screamed. He also said that “they all have their belief and, of course, they didn’t want to take them down. But there is no way out. If they don’t agree to do so, they won’t be given their quota from the poverty-relief fund.”

Three years later, from April 18 through April 30, 2020, 48 state-owned Three Self churches in the county was shut down by the government, also part of a crackdown on Christians in China. Furthermore, it is part of a five-year plan Xi announced at 2018. According to Barnabas Fund, "in a series of repressive measures, hundreds of “three-self” churches and “house churches” (i.e. unregistered congregations) have been closed, pastors have been arrested and imprisoned and surveillance cameras installed inside churches."
