China UPR Mid-Term Review

Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) is a human rights organisation specialising in freedom of religion or belief for all (FoRB). Working with a variety of partners, CSW monitors the right to freedom of religion or belief in China within the broader context of human rights protection, and advocates for the right to freedom of religion of belief for all people in China.

This submission seeks to draw attention to particular concerns over the right to freedom of religion or belief in China.

In the reporting period, the overall level of freedom of religion or belief in the country has decreased. This downward trend fits into a broader pattern of increasing human rights abuses under President Xi, accompanied by and manifested through a shrinking space for civil society, a heightened sensitivity to perceived challenges to Party rule, and the introduction of legislation that curtails civil and political rights in the name of national security.
