Recently, Beijing’s liaison office in Hong Kong, in response to the new chairman of the HK’s Bar Association who has said there are some problems with the National Security Law, stated: “History has proven time and again that anyone who wants to go against the trend will meet their own demise.”The trend of China is submitting to the will of China.

However, the spokesperson probably has no idea about religion. For the history of the Church is one of those who have stood up against the trend and have been martyred for their beliefs. Those who have died for the faith have received a far greater reward than those who just submit to a government that doesn’t care about the salvation of its people.

Those government officials will have much to answer for upon their own deaths.
