Every year I share with this subcommittee a litany of human rights abuses committed by the Chinese government. The human rights abuses are the same this year. There has been no improvement. Even the State Department acknowledged that in its most recent human rights report. Catholic bishops and priests are still being arrested, fined, beaten and imprisoned.
C even decades.
House church Christians and laypeople are still being arrested, fined, beaten and imprisoned. Churches are still being destroyed. Bibles are still being confiscated. The Tibetan culture and religion is still being systematically destroyed. Tibetan Buddhist monks and nuns are being arrested and tortured.
