This report provides an overview of China\u2019s state-controlled religious organizations and their role and function within the country\u2019s institutional control of religion, demonstrating their complicity in the government\u2019s systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom. Central to the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s (CCP) institutional control of religion are the seven state-controlled national religious organizations and their local subsidiaries, often known as \u201cpatriotic religious associations,\u201d which are responsible for managing religious affairs of the five officially recognized religions\u2014Buddhism, Taoism, Catholicism, Protestantism, and Islam. These religious organizations are legally required to be politically loyal to the CCP and to work with the CCP and its government in promulgating, implementing, and enforcing state laws, regulations, and policies. That complicity extends to the CCP\u2019s deeply coercive sinicization of religion policies that have led to severe religious freedom violations against the majority-Muslim Uyghurs and other Turkic groups, Protestant house church Christians, and Tibetan Buddhists.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
