China Crackdown On Buddhism

[Polymathic]

In China, the government is not only cracking down on Muslims, but on other religions as well as it pushes to assert communist ideology. Buddhist temples have been closed or demolished, while a campaign has been launched to destroy hundreds of statues of Buddha. The destruction of the giant Guan-yin Buddha has drawn international condemnation

Shock and horror as communists tear down statues of things that represent a challenge to their culture.

Can't help but think this is a smokescreen to make it look like they are targeting all religions instead of just Muslims

Why wouldn't a pack of communists attack all religions?

The Chinese commies really are a bunch of intolerant cretins. Really sad to think our shortsighted fools..... I mean African politicians see them as darlings.

And thousands in America begging for a communist utopia of their own.

Buddha and Buddhists wouldn’t mind the destruction of these statues. Attachment leads to suffering.

Not exactly. Their persecution of Buddhism dates back almost a century.

A major part of it is due to the Dalai Lama issue.

When is the world going to crack down on china.

When it doesn't have nuclear bombs and a large population based on Zerg-rush tactics.

Around about 20 years ago China started be less strict towards "native Chinese religions" namely Chinese Buddhism and Taoism. Seems Xi government is starting to backtrack

I don't see why the world needs to do anything.

If you don't like China don't buy their stuff, don't support them.

You can hurt them economically. Just divest. Bring jobs home or divert them to other countries.

Of course the rest of the world will hurt for a bit, however it can be done.
