The Chinese Communist Part tries to deceive American Christians into believing there is a religious freedom in the China. The party is trying to achieving its goal through an exhibition being displayed in the US. Despite the government of China’s claims of religious freedom in the country, many Christians have suffered persecution for practicing their faith.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), one of the worst religious freedom violators in the world, is currently conducting a propaganda campaign sponsored by and directed at American Christians. The China Christian Council (CCC) and the Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM), state-owned religious associations that govern Protestants, are the main organizers of the China Bible Ministry Exhibition. The exhibition is touring America for the second time, from September to November, making stops in Washington, D.C. (sponsored by Wesley Theological Seminary, United Methodist Church); Chicago (Chicago Temple, UMC); Dallas (Dallas Theological Seminary); and finally Charlotte, NC (Billy Graham Evangelistic Association). […] The exhibition also counts widespread support from major evangelical and mainline Protestant associations.The exhibition, titled “Thy Word is Truth (John 17:17),” is a display of Chinese Bibles ranging from Silk Road origins to the current growth of Protestant Christianity in China. This Bible-centric approach suggests that the exhibition is specifically designed to appeal to American evangelicals. The exhibition is billed as a cross-cultural exchange, intended to increase dialogue in a spirit of mutual respect and understanding. […] In the exhibition, neither the CCC nor the American hosts make any mention of the China-sized elephant in the room: religious freedom. There seems to be a respectful, mutual agreement that neither side will talk or apparently care about grave human rights concerns.

So why have so many American Christians so readily embraced the CCC and TSPM? The most salient reason may be a cynical calculation in cozying up to Chinese officials to get a piece of the untapped Chinese-evangelization market.
