China Bans Bibles from Online Sellers
The Bible is among the sacred books known in the world. Its authority and prominence have been outstanding for an extended period. In fact, it is regarded as a holy book. After reading an article published on 5th April 2018 in the New York Times, written by Ian Johnson, I realized that China was out to fight the Christian religion. This article was talking how the Chinese government had banned online Bible selling. The argument for this decision, according to the report, is that the government has realized its influence in the Chinese culture and religion. To stop this growing influence of the Bible, the political class and leaders decided to ban it to promote their theology. The country has some of the famous and reliable e-commerce platforms. However, it was noticed that online users could not find the Bible despite their frequent searches.
The word bible had been censored from some of the famous Chinese websites such as Amazon. The Chinese government had issued a notice on how they intended to promote their culture. This was a five-year plan which included the control of the Bible influence. The government sought to interpret the Bible and translate it to support all those values which were relevant to their culture. China has several religions such as Taoism, Buddhism, and Islam, but the influence of the Bible is said to have been growing at an alarming rate. Thus, the Chinese Christians are likely to suffer for this regulation (Lambert, 1-10).

Also, it is alleged that some of the Christians had made attempts to speak against the government exploitative regimes. Pastors and the clergy had used the Bible to oppose the influence of politics in religion. As a result, the state was very bitter and sought to eliminate its impact.
