The Chinese Government has placed a ban on children in the country attending church services.
The move is reportedly a bid to crack down on religion in the country, particularly Islam and Christianity.
According to Daily Mail, over one hundred churches in Wenzhou, China’s Zhejiang province were served a notice saying minors will not be allowed to enter churches.
They will also be banned from participating in religious activities and attending religious sermons. Churches are also not allowed to organise a youth summer camp.
William Nee, a researcher for Amnesty International who spoke to Daily Mail said:
At this point, its unclear how widespread the bans on children attending church services are in China, but these alarming reports seem to be coming in from fairly diverse areas throughout the country.
China is in the midst of a religious revival and the current government seems concerned that religion could be a means through which foreign values may ‘penetrate’ into China and ultimately affect political stability.
In an important speech on religion last year, Xi Jinping said that young people must study science, believe in science and develop a ‘correct’ worldview and set of values.
It is suspected that the ban is to ensure the development of a generation whose idea of the truth and general worldview would be whatever is taught by the Chinese government through the public education system.

China doesn't believe in God or Allah yet they are an economic giant. Ghana, the nation of "prayer warriors" prays 24/7, believes in God than any other nation I know of yet Ghana upon all the God that we know is a poor beggar nation. Even the president, Akufo Addo, is telling the nation Ghana needs God's intervention. So what has God got to good with a nation's economic development? Even Vietnam with their Buddhist religion are a far better place than "God's" Ghana. Why? Hello countrymen and women! Have you ever given these things a thought? Stop and think about this for once and ask yourselves these pertinent questions.
China is Satan third favorite country....I am not shocked because they it was agreed on at a summit under the sea last three months before I was delivered from satan's kingdom....a south east Asian country will soon implement this!!
"study science, believe in science and develop a ‘correct’ worldview and set of values." -- This is another form of religion now. Religion blinds people. God want's a relationship which can only be found in Jesus Christ
THIS IS GOOD. RELIGION WILL WILL BRING DOWN THE MORAL DISCIPLINE IN CHINA AND RELIGIOUS LEADERS WILL BEGIN TO INFLUENCE THE SOCIETY TO THINK THEY COULD COUNT ON SOMEONE LIVING IN HEAVEN TO PROVIDE ALL THEIR NEEDS. BRAVO CHINA
