Unidentified speaker opened the hearing and framed the topic: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is conducting a systematic campaign to subordinate religious belief to state ideology, including "re engineering doctrine, leadership, education, architecture, and even online worship." The speaker said this assault merits U.S. attention and introduced the hearing question: why does religious freedom in China matter to the United States?
