China: contradictions

English (NRSV) / Chinese (CUV) Bible

History was made on 11 November when the 200 millionth Chinese Union Version (CUV) of the Bible rolled off the printing press in China.

This publishing milestone was celebrated at an official ceremony attended by leaders of churches in the state-registered Three-Self Patriotic Movement and representatives from the Chinese authorities.

She was accused of buying publications from overseas. Authorities are trying to track down all those who had purchased from the store, and the materials.
