A teenager in Singapore has been detained under the country’s strict Internal Security Act (ISA) for plotting to kill Muslims in two mosques on the March 15 anniversary of the deadly 2019 Christchurch attacks, the government said on Wednesday.

The 16-year-old student, who is a Protestant Christian of Indian ethnicity, is the youngest to be detained under such laws, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA) said in a statement, adding that the teenager, who was inspired by “far-right extremist ideology”, was detained last month.

【全球都應關注中國極權主義擴張】

外交部長吳釗燮接受「澳洲金融評論報」視訊專訪，呼籲國際社會正視中國極權主義擴張所產生的影響，有以下幾個重點：
.
✍️台灣在對抗中國極權主義的前線捍衛民主

吳部長強調，中國持續擴張威權主義，不僅迫害新疆、西藏與香港，也箝制宗教自由與外國媒體。此外，在東海與南海軍事活動越來越頻繁，還從第一島鏈延伸到第二、三島鏈，引發周邊國家不安。台灣身處 #對抗中國極權主義最前線，也是 #前線的民主捍衛者，呼籲理念相近民主國家展現對台灣的支持。
.
✍️呼籲世界認同並支持台灣

中國持續以軍事威脅、假訊息、混合戰、經濟手段等方式侵擾台灣，吳部長表示 #我們不會讓台灣成為第二個香港，台澳共享 #自由、#民主、#人權 等普世價值，相信澳洲人民也將認同支持台灣。

吳部長還引述德國牧師馬丁‧尼莫拉的著名詩句，說明漠視周遭發生的事物終將讓自己受害，呼籲包含澳洲的全球民眾都應關注中國極權主義擴張。
.
✍️期盼台澳雙邊關係更多合作

吳部長表示，台灣期盼澳洲盡速啟動「台澳經濟合作協議」(ECA)以強化雙邊經貿關係。此外，也期盼澳洲未來能支持台灣申請加入「跨太平洋夥伴全面進步協定」(CPTPP)，一方面強化經貿關係，一方面期待台澳針對供應鏈韌性、對抗疫情等加強合作，期待雙方就區域事務能有更多交流合作。

If you haven't read MOFA Minister Joseph Wu's interview with #Australia's Financial Review, we implore you to check it out.

Minister Wu explained to our friends in #Australia why what happens to #Taiwan is more than a regional issue, given Taiwan' status as a democracy on the front-lines of China's authoritarian expansionism, and the PRC's attempts to stifle freedom and democracy beyond its borders. He echoed the words of a German pastor inscribed on a monument in Boston, "First, they came after the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, but I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. And then they came for the Catholics, but I didn't speak up because I'm Protestant. But by the time they came for me, there was nobody left to speak out for me. "

While pointing out that China often uses the Taiwan issue to distract from its internal strife, he analyzed the likelihood of conflict breaking out and pointed out the increasing attention paid to this ideological confrontation by like-minded countries around the world.

Minister Wu also looked at the prospects of more trade and cooperation between Taiwan and Australia as global supply chains have been realigned over recent years and expressed his hope that Taiwan can accede to the #CPTPP.

He ended by reiterating Taiwan's commitment to peace and prosperity in the region and to continuing its efforts to help other countries in the international community in times of need.

Is Religion banned? Will you get your organs harvested for practicing your faith in China? Will you be oppressed and suppressed? Will you be arrested? Are there Churches in China?

The Taiping Rebellion was influenced to some degree by Christian teachings, and the Boxer Rebellion was in part a reaction against Christianity in China. Christians in China established the first modern clinics and hospitals, and provided the first modern training for nurses. Both Roman Catholics and Protestants founded numerous educational institutions in China from the primary to the university level. Some of the most prominent Chinese universities began as religious-founded institutions. Missionaries worked to abolish practices such as foot binding, and the unjust treatment of maidservants, as well as launching charitable work and distributing food to the poor. They also opposed the opium trade and brought treatment to many who were addicted. Some of the early leaders of the Chinese Republic, such as Sun Yat-sen were converts to Christianity and were influenced by its teachings. By 1921, Harbin, Manchuria's largest city, had a Russian population of around 100,000, constituting a large part of Christianity in the city.

Christianity, especially in its Protestant form, gained momentum in China between the 1980s and the 1990s, but in the following years, folk religion recovered more rapidly and in greater numbers than Christianity (or Buddhism). One scholar noted that "the Christian God then becomes one in a pantheon of local gods among whom the rural population divides its loyalties".

Protestants in the early twenty-first century, including both official and unofficial churches, had between 25 and 35 million adherents. Catholics were not more than 10 million. Other demographic analyses found that an average 2–4% of the population of China claims a Christian affiliation. Christians were unevenly distributed geographically. The only provinces in which they constituted a population significantly larger than 1 million persons are Henan, Anhui and Zhejiang. Protestants are characterised by a prevalence of people living in the countryside, women, illiterates and semi-literates, and elderly people.

A significant number of members of churches unregistered with the government, and of their pastors, belong to the Koreans of China.[334] Christianity has a strong presence in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, in Jilin. The Christianity of Yanbian Koreans has a patriarchal character; Korean churches are usually led by men, in contrast to Chinese churches which more often have female leadership. For instance, of the 28 registered churches of Yanji, only three of which are Chinese congregations, all the Korean churches have a male pastor while all the Chinese churches have a female pastor. Also, Korean church buildings are stylistically very similar to South Korean churches, with big spires surmounted by large red crosses. Yanbian Korean churches have been a matter of controversy for the Chinese government because of their links to South Korean churches.

In recent decades the Communist Party of China has become more tolerant of Christian churches outside party control, despite looking with distrust on organizations with international ties. The government and Chinese intellectuals tend to associate Christianity with subversive Western values, and many churches have been closed or destroyed. Since the 2010s policies against Christianity have been extended also to Hong Kong.
