2. You are spreading false information again to advance your agenda.

The Chinese government isn't seeking to eliminate theism. There are lots of theists in China. If they wanted to eliminate theism, they'd go after all of them - but they aren't.

What they're seeking to do, which is obvious to any thinking person who doesn't have bullshit agenda to peddle, is to eliminate is any threat to the state. That's why they also arrest atheists who speak out against the government.

I understand why you're desperate to keep portraying China as an "atheists oppressing theists" situation, but the plain and simple facts of the matter don't support that.
