Apoc said: "The closure of what may be China's first mega-church is the most visible sign that the communist government is determined to rein in the rapid spread of Christianity, with a crackdown in recent months that church leaders call the harshest in years."

This is a sign that the government is desperate. It means they are losing control. They think that if they hurt Christians that this would be an example for every Christian to stop being a Christian. But like all past godly movements the more persecution the more the Church expands. China is changing and some of their leaders are still operating from an old school Mao mentality. They will change, it's inevitable. Communism will come down in that country. And God forbid if it ever should be like the United States of America, arrogant, self centered and misguided.
