It really begs the issue as to whether China has the right idea about religious faith groups. All religions are welcome in China, as long as they do not infringe on the right of the people to preserve the dominant Chinese cultural values, nor threaten the ability of the people themselves to determine their governance. The Catholic church (not the Roman Catholic Empire-Church) is welcome in China, as long as all of the church ‘leaders’ (bishops and such) are loyal to China and the Chinese people, not a foreign ‘pope’ that has no connection to the thousands of years old cultural traditions of China.
This group clearly wants authoritarian fascist control over all people, disguised as some authority given by a ‘supreme beyond-human power’ or ‘supreme divinity’. The Divine Right of Kings. There is absolutely no difference between what this group wants and the government in Iran. Only the name of the ‘religion’ is changed. The goal is the same.
