Further anti-Christian decisions by China

Following the Vatican-China deal, foreign textbooks translated into Mandarin for sixth-grade students have expunged religious references. The removal of any mention of “God” and “Bible” have especially horrified Chinese Christians. Censors have removed the words from The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen, Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe and Vanka by Anton Chekhov. [1]
