4. Cultural Characteristics.
Religious observance in China is on the rise. Amid China’s economic boom and rapid
modernization, experts point to the emergence of a spiritual vacuum as a trigger for the
growing number of religious believers, particularly adherents of Christianity and traditional
Chinese religious groups. While China’s constitution allows religious belief, adherents across all
religious organizations, from state-sanctioned to underground and banned groups, face
intensifying persecution, repression, and pressure to adhere to Chinese Communist Party. The
population that China has so far is 1,455,022,808 inhabitints.
