Religion: Governments can no longer hide—Who is on the Christians’ Side? – By Yvonne Sam

10/27/2019 – 12:29 am

  By Yvonne Sam

The Chinese Communist Party uses the fight against corruption as an excuse to go after political rivals. Trump wants to import that tactic to the United States — with Beijing’s help.

President Donald Trump has doubled down on a political tactic that strains the limits of credulity: Publicly demanding that foreign powers help him win in the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
