Published: 10/15/2025

China recently arrested 30 Christians, including prominent pastor Jin Mingri, in what is being called the country's largest Christian crackdown in decades. The arrests, linked to the Zion Church network, signal a potential wider crackdown on underground churches due to new laws aimed at controlling religious activities. With increasing pressure on unregistered churches in China, many fear a systematic targeting of Christian groups, as seen in the recent arrests across multiple cities, including Beijing and Shanghai.
