Max Walker - The Big Bro You Never Had.

🇨🇳✝️China detains Pastor Ezra Jin, leader of Beijing’s Zion Church, a large unregistered Christian network that spread across multiple provinces and online after being shut down in 2018. Zion Church operated outside China’s legal registration system, refusing to join the state-recognised Christian council that oversees churches nationwide. While freedom of belief is protected in China, unregistered religious organisations are illegal because they fall outside transparency, oversight and accountability laws. Ezra Jin’s network grew into one of the largest underground congregations in the country, raising funds, preaching online and expanding without approval, something no government would permit indefinitely. China allows all faiths, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, but none are allowed to become politically or financially powerful enough to rival the state. In the West, churches can become megacorporations: tax-exempt, massively funded and politically influential, lobbying governments, shaping policy and amassing billions in untaxed donations. But just because churches run freely in the West doesn’t mean every nation should follow that path. Western media are portraying Ezra as a victim, ignoring the fact that he knowingly broke the law. He wasn’t punished for his faith, but for operating outside the rules that every religion in China must follow. China’s system simply prevents religion from becoming a tool of power. It doesn’t fear Christianity; it fears corruption and manipulation hiding behind it.

I recently spent a month in Asia, including 10 days in China, where I met with senior policy makers in several countries, and I found that over the past few months, there has been a big shift in the world order. I share my perspective in my latest article.  As always, I welcome your questions and thoughts.

I’m in Shenzen. It’s clear China has implemented a much more effective capitalist system than the US. And Chinese consumers are the main beneficiaries. Far more choice of cheaper, quality products: electric cars, smartphones etc. And these are not just copycat products. Even industrial design here feels like an evolution of what I’ve seen in the US. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next iPhone looks similar to a current model of phone made by Honor or Huawei. A more accurate description of the US economic system might be “capitalism with American characteristics”

Now I know why some people are afraid of China😂😂
