On the mainland only apolitical religions like zen-Buddhism are truly acceptable. The others are tolerated but not allowed to proselytize.

I respect you for being honest. We know how you guys feel.

yeah, because Christianity used to be very political, they tried to be "state priests". They've been reformed, starting with protestants, with separation of church and state, so they're well integrated into western style countries. 

There was some attempt to reconcile between China and Vatican. You probably know Catholics were aggressively  anti-communist in Europe, in the 1950's there was even an assassination plan against Mao by four Catholics. 

Religions have to lose their teeth and lose some of their ambition, to be truly positive for the world. I think protestants reformed well in that sense. Communists needs their own reformation too, less teeth and less ambition, which CCP really tried to do starting in the 1990's.

Then why was Falun Gong banned and persecuted?

do you see the behavior of FLG today? they are not normal sensible people who only care about spirituality. You can't just call anything a religion and say you must have freedom. There's such a thing as banned cults.

@wei-nihao

 have you studied European history? 

Europe was being invaded by Muslims and asiatic barbarians. 

 isn't that what the Chinese are doing to the Muslims right now

Koreans are more open with Christianity, Many Korean Christian groups come to the Philippines to help out other Filipinos.
