Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Monday (September 29, 2025) that religions in this communist country should be more anticipated by socialist society. According to the report of government news agency Xinhua, he emphasized that religion in China should be more analogous with Chinese perspective.
Xi, while presiding over a group study session of the political bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), also called for active guidance to the religions so that they could become in line with the socialist society. Since coming to power in 2012, Xi (72) is giving a new look to the ruling Communist Party’s religion related policies with Marxist ideology.
In July this year, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning, while answering a question, defended the Chinese of Tibetan Buddhism and other religions under the guidelines issued by Xi. Mao said, ‘I believe that the Chineseization of religion is not about banning religious conduct, but all religions should be in line with the social, cultural and historical perspective of the country.’
He said, “Tibetan Buddhism in China is a major example of a religion that has incorporated Chinese characteristics and which is an example of the process of Chinese.” China says that it has religious freedom, but it should work within the criteria set by the party.
It is not yet clear what religions should do to suit Chinese conditions. Xi’s comment on religion has come under the backdrop of Tibet and Shinjiang’s recent visit. These are two such huge provinces who have retained their religious identity despite CPC rule and oppression for more than seven decades.
Decades after the Dalai Lama went into exile to stay in Dharamshala, Buddhism is strongly rooted in Tibet, but Uygar Muslim majority communities are still living in Shinjiang, where the United Nations and International Human Rights Groups have accused the community of being largely under house arrest.
China has banned the extremist group called East Turkistan Islamic Movement, which has been accusing Beijing Uygar of demanding a separate country for Muslims.
