Chinese Offering Money in Exchange for Reporting Christians
August 25, 2021
(FW) A new reward system is being used in China as a way to crack down on Christians who engage in “illegal religious activities.”
Earlier this month, the Meilisi Daur District in Heilongjiang Province’s Qiqihar city released “The Reward System For Reporting Illegal Religious Activities Offenses,” saying informants could be eligible to receive 1,000 yuan ($150), China Christian Daily reported.
The measure aims to “strengthen the control of illegal religious activities in the district, prevent any COVID-19 cluster resulting from religious gatherings, mobilize the public to engage in preventing, suppressing illegal religious activities, and ensure a harmonious and stable religious landscape,” the announcement said.
Those reporting an incident can submit their tip by phone, through email, or by writing a letter.
