U.S. Bipartisan Push to Free Gao Zhisheng: New Bill Demands Action on China's Political Prisoners

In a bold stand against Beijing's repression, U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) has introduced the Freedom for Gao Zhisheng Act (HR 5303), co-sponsored by Reps. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) and John Moolenaar (R-MI).

The legislation mandates a coordinated U.S. strategy to secure the release of Chinese human rights defenders, spotlighting Nobel Peace Prize nominee Gao Zhisheng—a Christian disappeared by the CCP since 2017 after years of torture for defending the persecuted.

ChinaAid President Dr. Bob Fu, a close friend who helped rescue Gao's family in 2009, hailed the bill: "Gao embodies justice, faith, and sacrifice. This renews our resolve to hold China accountable and free him, Jimmy Lai, and countless others." ChinaAid urges swift congressional passage and global solidarity for all detainees.

Story #2: Two Christians Are Back Behind Bars for Rejecting Orwellian Overreach

In Anhui Province, Elder Xue Shaoqiang and Sister Wan Chunqin of the unregistered Bengbu Living Stone Reformed Church face renewed imprisonment after their suspended sentences were revoked on September 5, 2025. Convicted in 2023 on baseless "fraud" charges linked to their faith, the pair received suspended terms in January but refused the court's invasive monitoring—constant GPS-enabled phones and thrice-daily facial-recognition check-ins, deemed violations of their rights.

Elder Xue must now serve 10 additional months; Sister Wan, four. This rare judicial move highlights China's escalating war on house churches, following the 2023 forced closure of their congregation and arrests of its leaders.

Imagine your every step tracked, your faith policed by a phone—Elder Xue and Sister Wan refused. Share their story now, join the frontlines, defend liberty together! Read Story Now

Story #3: China's Regime Denies Pastor His Bible Amid Detention

Pastor Huang Yizi, detained for over two months in Pingyang County, faces severe restrictions on his basic rights. The Fengwo Church leader in Wenzhou cannot receive family postcards or deliver his own letters of longing, violating constitutional freedoms. A mailed Bible remains undelivered despite tracking confirmation, denying him religious reading access.

Lawyers, including Attorney Yuan Mao, have filed repeated complaints with procuratorates and police, demanding safeguards for correspondence and faith. An appeal to end detention was rejected on September 4, amid accusations of "illegal preaching." Wife Lin Aili urges prayers for Huang, co-detainees Elder Chen Fuxi and Brother Li Yongfeng, and swift justice.

Story #4: China's Digital Iron Fist: Silencing Sermons from Hong Kong to the Mainland

China's State Administration for Religious Affairs unveiled a stringent Code of Conduct on Sept. 16, curbing religious clergy's online activities nationwide. The 18-article rules ban preaching, livestreaming, fundraising, and commercial ventures on unapproved platforms, mandating use of licensed channels only. For the first time, the edict ensnares Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and foreign clergy, aiming to quash "extremist" rhetoric and economic exploitation.

Critics decry it as a systemic assault on religious freedom, funneling faith into state-controlled digital silos amid escalating cyberspace controls. As one analyst noted in Religion Unplugged, it "isolates clergy from global discourse," turning sacred speech into surveilled whispers.

Story #5: China Installs New Bishop - After Forced Retirement of Underground Bishop Cui Tai

In a move underscoring Beijing's tightening grip on religion, China ordained Father Wang Zhengui as Bishop of Zhangjiakou in Hebei Province on September 9, 2025. The ceremony, aligned with the secretive Sino-Vatican Provisional Agreement, merges the historic Xuanhua and Xiwanzi dioceses—once strongholds of the underground Church—into one state-recognized entity.

This effectively replaces 75-year-old underground Bishop Augustine Cui Tai, who has endured repeated house arrests for refusing official oversight. Vatican approval aims for "ecclesial unity," but critics see it as forced absorption, marginalizing those faithfully resisting CCP control. Amid Xi Jinping's "nationalization" of religion, underground leaders face evasion and repression, highlighting ongoing human rights concerns in China's Catholic community.
