China Confiscates Bibles from Christian Group

Chinese officials confiscated more than 300 Bibles from an American Christian group attempting to carry the books into the country through their checked luggage.

 

Members of the group Vision Beyond Borders have said they would not leave the airport until the Bibles, written in Chinese, were returned.

 

China assured visitors prior to hosting the 2008 Beijing Olympics that Bibles were admissible when brought into the country yet Sunday’s action appears to contradict that statement. Bibles are not illegal in China yet the act of trying to convert people to a particular religion is not allowed.

 

The four members of Vision Beyond Borders remained in the airport Sunday night and have refused to leave.
