Pompeo Said China Has the Most Suppressed Religious Freedom
During the visit to Rome, the U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the seriousness of religious freedom suppression in China today was not comparable to other places. He also called on the Vatican to join the United States in condemning China's violation of religious freedom.
During a symposium at the U.S. Embassy in the Vatican, Pompeo said the Chinese Communist Party desired to eliminate the lamp of freedom on a horrifying scale. The suppression of every religious group in China included Protestantism family-churches, Tibetan Buddhists, Falun Gong practitioners, and Catholics.
The Vatican's Secretary for Relations with States Paul Gallagher attended the conference but did not mention China in his speech. He criticised some western people for advocating gender ideology and violating religious freedom.
