On this episode of China Uncensored,
the Chinese Communist Party may be atheist,
but that doesn't mean they don't want to be worshipped.
Hi, welcome to China Uncensored,
I'm your host Chris Chappell.
Do you feel it brothers and sisters?
Do you feel the spirit move within you,
the spirit of socialism with Chinese characteristics?
You see, there's a new preacher in town
and his name is Xi Jinping.
And he's leading the great China revival,
or as he calls it national rejuvenation.
Advanced the new project of party building
as well as striving for socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era
and realizing the Chinese dreams of a national rejuvenation.
Praise be to Xi, it's a new era.
So get rid of your pictures of Jesus, he's not gonna save you,
and put up this photo of Xi Jinping.
No seriously, take down your pictures of Jesus
and put up one of Xi Jingping or else you lose your social services.
That's what Chinese Christians are being told in some really poor parts of China.
Yes, local communist officials in southeastern China
say they've been melting the heart ice in the hearts of religious believers
and helping turn them into believers in the party.
Just look at them go.
One local officials said:
"Many rural people are ignorant. They think God is their savior.
After our cadres work,
they'll realize their mistake and think:
We should no longer rely on Jesus, but on the party for help."
Who needs spiritual beliefs
when you can always turn to your loving totalitarian government.
Seriously, who needs spiritual beliefs,
write down their names and report them.
And really, who wouldn't want this wonderfully flattering portrait of Xi Jingping on their wall.
I didn't know that Xi was a fan of Meitu.
In fact, that airbrushing is so good,
I should really get my own version.
Okay, so there's no way to know whether or not this is sanctioned by Xi Jingping,
or if it's just some overzealous local officials trying to curry favor.
But morality is coming back to China,
and it will be guided by the most moral body of all -
The Communist Party.
Kind of like when your elephant sanctuary is run by Ivory Dealers R Us.
I hear they're starting one for white rhinos on the side.
Okay, so learning morality from an authoritarian regime
that's killed tens of millions of your people
and almost completely destroyed the moral and spiritual underpinnings of your culture
might seem a little dicey.
But the idea that China needs a moral revival is not new.
According to this survey by research firm Ipsos,
a shocking 47% of Chinese people rank moral decline
as one of China's top three problems,
more than in any other country.
But worry not my good Christian,
I mean, good Communist brothers and sisters,
because the Chinese Communist Party has released not just 10 commandments
but 68 commandments.
As part of China's great moral revival,
over the summer,
China's online entertainment industry was sent a new censorship directive.
They banned 68 different topics,
including things like underage drinking,
gambling, extreme violence, scantily clad people
and satirizing spiritual figures and beliefs.
But this kind of thing has been happening all year,
an update to the official state-run media style guide
banned a bunch of new words
along with crude language and online slang.
But along with crude online slang,
media are banned from using terms like Taiwan government
or Taiwan presidential elections.
Nope, those are leader elections in the region of Taiwan.
Just rolls off the tongue.
In addition, textbooks have been purged of immoral values as in - Western values.
And celebrity gossip blogs have also been shut down.
But before you start thinking,
maybe the CCP is on the right track with banning celebrity gossip,
just remember that it comes as part of the overall 'No-one gets free speech' package.
I mean, this is the same CCP that in 1999,
started killing people who practice Falun Gong meditation
because as state-run Xinhua put it:
"The so called 'Truth, Kindness and Tolerance' principle
preached by Falun Gong founder Li Hongzhi
has nothing in common with the socialist, ethical and cultural progress we striving to achieve."
And while other spiritual believers are also getting in trouble,
you'd better not believe in anything if you're a party member
other than the party, I mean.
So the Church of the Communist Party
will be light on kindness and heavy on Xi Jingping thought.
And the truth is,
there's not going to be a lot of tolerance unless you start putting up those posters.
So what do you think of China's moral revival
at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.
