(Wenzhou, Taishun County, Zhejiang — January 28, 2026) In Wenzhou, long known as “China’s Jerusalem,” the boundary between faith and power is undergoing a violent redrawing. The Yayang Church case is becoming a new window through which to observe how Beijing, through its “Sinicization of religion” policy, is systematically dismantling non-official belief systems. For the Christians in Yayang Town, this was not merely an issue of installation, but a matter of their spiritual integrity. In early January 2026, as heavy machinery moved in, the bell tower and teaching building of the Yayang church collapsed one after another. It is not only the Yayang church; the local Catholic community is also feeling the shift.
