They allow a certain number to be printed. but they can only be distributed in churches. in places of worship which are officially recognized. sanctioned and registered by the Communist government. That is how you get a Bible in China. So this man. 76 years old. was arrested for distributing Bibles illegally. He was sentenced to 15 years. But it is controversial for us to condemn that with an amendment to the Department of Defense authorization. Somehow. it is controversial to deny visas to those who are perpetrating these kinds of atrocities against religious believers. I am sorry. The Government then sentenced a 65yearold evangelical elder to an 11year prison term for belonging to an unauthorized evangelical group.
