At the Western Conservative Summit, we sat down with Bob Fu, founder and president of ChinaAid. He was a student leader during the Tiananmen Square demonstrations in 1989, and he was a house church leader in Beijing, until he and his wife, Heidi, were imprisoned for two months in 1996 for “illegal evangelism.” They fled to the US as religious refugees in 1997. We discuss increasing religious persecution in China against house Christians, underground Catholics, Uyghur Muslims, and Falun Gong practitioners. And we look at how the Chinese Communist Party is exporting its abuses abroad, especially in the United States, to suppress freedom of religion and belief.
