Justice Obstructed: New Barriers Emerge for Pastor Wang Lin in Escalating Zion Church Crackdown Separated from his wife and children since his October 2025 arrest, Beijing Zion Church Pastor Dr. Wang Lin now faces upgraded charges of illegal business operations and fraud. His attorney, Zhang Lei, was denied access to prosecution case files on June 23 after submitting authorization documents to the Yinhai District People’s Procuratorate in Beihai. Prosecutors demanded additional paperwork not required by law, which attorney Zhang Lei described as “absurd.” Wang’s wife, Su Ziming, publicly condemned the requirements, arguing they contradict China’s Civil Code. This latest development in the crackdown on the prominent independent house church highlights concerns over access to justice for religious believers. Advocates continue to call for fair proceedings and respect for religious freedom. Stand with Pastor Wang Lin and the persecuted—share their story and urge Chinese authorities to uphold due process and religious freedom today.

American farmers play by the rules. Foreign competitors don’t. Loopholes and unfair trade practices have allowed imported products to undercut U.S. producers for too long. It's time to level the playing field and put American agriculture first.

When President Xi very elegantly referred to the United States as perhaps being a declining nation, he was referring to the tremendous damage we suffered during the four years of Sleepy Joe Biden and the Biden Administration, and on that score, he was 100% correct. Our Country suffered immeasurably with open borders, high taxes, transgender for everybody, men in women’s sports, DEI, horrible trade deals, rampant crime, and so much more! President Xi was not referring to the incredible rise that the United States has displayed to the world during the 16 spectacular months of the Trump Administration, which includes all-time high stock markets and 401K’s, military victory and thriving relationship in Venezuela, the military decimation of Iran (to be continued!) — Strongest military on earth by far, economic powerhouse again, with a record 18 trillion dollars being invested into the United States by others, best U.S. job market in history, with more people working in the United States right now than ever before, ending country destroying DEI, and so many other things that it would be impossible to readily list. In fact, President Xi congratulated me on so many tremendous successes in such a short period of time. Two years ago, we were, in fact, a Nation in decline. On that, I fully agree with President Xi! But now, the United States is the hottest Nation anywhere in the world, and hopefully our relationship with China will be stronger and better than ever before!
