Hearing on State-Controlled Religion in China

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) held a hearing on state-controlled religion in China. Religious groups in China must conform to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) political ideology and submit to the state’s intrusive system of control to legally engage in religious activities. State-controlled organizations manage the affairs of religious communities affiliated with the five government-recognized religions—Buddhism, Catholicism, Islam, Protestantism, and Taoism—and enforce a vast web of repressive laws, regulations, and policies that do not conform to international human rights standards. The state’s coercive “sinicization of religion” policy has become the core driving principle of the government’s management of religious affairs over the last decade and has resulted in gross violations of religious freedom, including genocide, crimes against humanity, mass incarceration, enforced disappearances, and the destruction of cultural and religious heritage. In its 2025 Annual Report, USCIRF recommended that the U.S. Department of State designate China as a Country of Particular Concern for particularly severe violations of religious freedom. Witnesses discussed religious freedom conditions in China. They also shared recommendations for the U.S. government to support freedom of religion or belief in China.
