Foreword:

Greetings! We are China Christian Daily, the first comprehensive English Christian news website about the church in China. Thank you for your sincere love, prayer for, and contributions to the Chinese church.

September 1 will be the beginning of the full implementation of the Administrative Measures for Internet Religious Information Services which stipulates religious groups must obtain governmental approval to share religious information online. As the new religious internet regulations came into force on March 1, let's take a look at the past months what the church in China has achieved from the legal aspect to cope with the challenge. The registered church has been attempting to pass relevant exams and obtain the permits and some of them succeed, while the house church has suffered WeChat account demolition, website shutdown, and restrictions, trying to explore any alternative to release Christian material online.

You can also read trending news as well as interviews with an American missionary couple who once served in China, a church history professor, and two pastors' voices.
