在2020年之前，中國的統治者試圖實現一套歐威爾式（編按：小說《1984》作者喬治・歐威爾）的系統，也就是所謂的「社會信用分數」，這幾乎控制人們生活的所有方面。用這項計畫的官方宣傳來說，這套系統讓「守信者暢行天下，失信者寸步難行」。
And by 2020, China's rulers aim to implement an Orwellian system premised on controlling virtually every facet of human life - the so-called "Social Credit Score." In the words of that program's official blueprint, it will "allow the trustworthy to roam everywhere under heaven, while making it hard for the discredited to take a single step."

說到宗教自由，中國的基督徒、佛教徒和穆斯林正在承受新一波的迫害。
And when it comes to religious freedom, a new wave of persecution is crashing down on Chinese Christians, Buddhists, and Muslims.
北京上個月關閉了中國基督教最大的地下教會之一。在全國各地，政府拆毀十字架、焚燒聖經、監禁信徒。北京如今還跟梵蒂岡達成協議，公開宣示無神論的共產黨，竟然可以直接介入主教的任命。對中國的基督徒來說，這是絕望的時刻。
Last month, Beijing shut down one of China's largest underground churches. Across the country, authorities are tearing down crosses, burning bibles, and imprisoning believers. And Beijing has now reached a deal with the Vatican that gives the avowedly atheist Communist Party a direct role in appointing Catholic bishops. For China's Christians, these are desperate times.
