Superstition or Faith? China Closes Hundreds of Centers and Confiscates Property Under Marxist Test
A Liaoning court has sentenced eight people linked to Create Abundance to seven to nine months in prison under Criminal Law Article 300 for “using superstition to undermine the implementation of law.” The Xinmin Municipal People’s Court tried the defendants on January 9, 2025; none appealed. Authorities cast the group, founded by Zhang Xinyue, as a criminal organization promoting “cosmic energy” and “spiritual healing.”
ChinaAid warns that treating theism and spiritual teaching as criminal evidence under Marxist standards endangers every independent community of conscience.
