Christianity has enjoyed a major revival in China in recent years. However, the relationship between the Christians and the Communists is growing increasingly uneasy. Given Christianity’s association in many Chinese people’s minds with western values, the line between religion and politics sometimes becomes blurred. In some places, particularly Zhejiang province, churches have been demolished and crosses torn down, drawing condemnation of China from religious leaders abroad. Stephen Chan, Professor of World Politics at SOAS, discusses China and Christianity with podcast host, Duncan Bartlett.
