UNREPORTED: Riots Sweeping Through China

China’s economy is doing much worse than anyone is really reporting. In the last week, while traveling to different parts of China, I noticed that international airports are more empty than I have ever seen before, ports are slow, and once busy shipping lanes are almost empty.

Orders have stopped, factory loans can’t be repaid, workers aren’t being paid, and production companies are fleeing. The economic hardships are starting to lead to unrest and riots are popping up all over the country.

Do a Google search on riots in China – almost nothing will come up, but signs of them are cropping up on social media and if the economic situation is not fixed soon, it might get worse.

I reported that the economy in China was not doing well in 2021 when the western media said otherwise and now we can see that the facade is crumbling.

The truth is China is bleeding because they have made some huge miscalculations. The unstoppable economic growth of China can be traced back to 2018 when China decided to crack down on Christians.

Look at any country in the world – America, Canada, South Korea, Australia, Japan, England, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc – a booming economy is directly related to the religious freedom of their citizens. Freedom for Christians is especially significant for the economic development of a nation. Economic development of nations has been almost exclusively linked to the freedom of Christians throughout history. Nations have literally risen and fallen with the freedom and persecution of Christians.

Although this idea will no doubt be scoffed at by academics and economists, the truth is, it is more than just correlation, but has shown throughout history that there is a direct causation. The link between Christian freedom and economic development has had very little research, but one study by Yale University, spelled out in the podcast FREAKENOMICS reveals ground breaking evidence of the connection between the two.

When analyzing the factors in China in the last 6-7 years, there seems to be a clear connection between the increase of persecution and the nose dive of the Chinese economy. While the rest of the world has moved on from Covid-19, it seems that the Chinese economy just can’t dig its way out.

The reason for that may be directly linked to China’s increase of persecution against Christians.

If China is going to save their economy, there seems to be only one way. Stop their campaign of Christian persecution and allow believers to have freedom. Only China’s Christians can save the economy.
