| Summary / Abstract (Note) | For decades, outsiders have thought of China as a country where religion and faith play marginal roles. Images of Chinese people overwhelmingly involve economics or politics: massive cities sprouting up, diligent workers laboring in vast factories, nouveaux riches flaunting their wealth [2], farmers toiling in polluted fields, dissidents languishing in prison. The stories about faith in China that do exist tend to involve victims [3], such as Chinese Christians forced to worship underground or groups such as Falun Gong [4] being repressed by the government. |
