内容简介

Western opinion has long held that China is a secular society. The Chinese government's persecution of the Falun Gong, Tibetan Buddhists, Christians, and other religious minorities held to be anti-socialist and reactionary, has reinforced this idea and aroused worldwide concern. Anthony Yu's State and Religion in China presents ample evidence that religion has long been deeply ingrained in Chinese culture and that the state has always interfered in religious matters. Yu warns that the West's misunderstanding impedes dialogue with China's leaders.
