“China is now holding itself up as a model for fighting the coronavirus,” Todd Nettleton, VOM spokesman, told Fox News. “But fighting the pandemic hasn’t stopped communist officials from persecuting Christians.”
Officials in Jiangsu province used the lockdown as an opportunity to demolish Xiangbaishu Church in Yixing city, according to a video shared by Bob Fu, the founder of China Aid.
