President George Bush attended a Christian service in Beijing Sunday to call for greater religious freedom in China but, in an indication of how religious persecution persists in the fiercely secular country, a leading local underground church activist was detained en route to the same ceremony. Hua Huiqi was cycling to the Kuanjie church when he was stopped by security officers working with the religious affairs bureau.

EDITOR'S NOTE: If you get a chance read the book Jesus in Beijing! 

David Aikman spent 30 years reporting on the underground church in China. You will be amazed and encouraged by this book and how God is literally taming the Chinese Dragon.
