In China, they're closing churches, jailing pastors - and even rewriting scripture

5. Like most people, I pick my battles.

I live in a country where all religious people are free to practice their religions freely, except, perhaps Muslims, whose houses of worship are frequently attacked by misguided Christians. There are churches and other houses of worship on almost every other corner. I have no influence on China whatsoever. It does not offer the same level of freedom to religions that the United States does.

That is unfortunate for those who seek to worship a religion in that country. I do not believe that I have any influence whatever on that unfortunate situation. I have no relationship with China at all.

My colleague from China is a U.S. Citizen now. He is not a religious person at all. He has family that still lives in China, but they are not religious, either. He has not mentioned this situation to me. We generally discuss matters that involve the business we both participate in. I'll see him on Wednesday, and will ask him your question. I predict he will shrug and say that it is not his concern and that he has nothing to do with China any longer.
