BEIJING – By all accounts, Shi Weihan was a model Chinese citizen.
A kind-hearted man with a sense of social responsibility, he donated funds to send poor kids to school, raised money for those suffering from congenital heart disease, and when the Sichuan earthquake hit, worked tirelessly for the emergency relief effort.

Oh, the horror!
This Christian is living proof that Christianity is superior to Marxism and the politics of envy and hate. Watch carefully, as Western Civilization continues its rapid collapse, our statists will become evermore hostile to Christians.
It goes without saying that the sentence is absurd, as the Bible is not a political document.
If you did that in America, I’m sure the ACLU would take action to stop it.
Passing out bibles for free? No doubt. Especially at schools. Then again, the anti- Christ wouldn't have to wait for the ACLU. The police arrest people now for doing such things as passing out bibles and preaching the word of the Lord in public places.
I have a Christian friend in China and when I’ve tried to send her links to ministries, etc. she says she cannot open most of them because . . .
her government blocks them.
In a totalitarian Marxist state, everything is a political document.
This is very sad. Prayers for Mr. Weihan. Although the beginnings of similar types of persecutions are happening here, it is nothing near to what the church in Red China faces daily.
Makes me think of this video about a church in a communist Asian nation-

China is the world’s largest Bible exporter.
I’m not certain because of all the commotion, but I think I heard a few words of Chinese being spoken in that video.
Wal-Mart bump
This is the same brutal communist dictatorship America sold her economy.
