Why the CCP Is Afraid of Christmas

This Christmas, something strange happened in China.
Santa Claus was detained. Churches were closed to the public. Schools warned students not to celebrate. And thousands of police were deployed against Christians just days before Christmas. In this episode, we look at how the Chinese Communist Party treats Christmas, why faith makes authoritarian power uneasy, and what religious persecution in China really looks like today—from Shanghai streets to underground churches in Wenzhou.
