From The Week, via Asia Times, columnist "Spengler" notes that if current trends in conversion continue, there will be 200 million Christians in China come mid-century--and says that:
Barred from worshipping publicly, Chinese Christians meet in their homes, and the resulting network of the faithful is already creating a “leaven of democracy” that the communist regime can’t control. “These fearless grass-roots evangelists will do more to bring democracy to the world than all the bluster of President George W. Bush.”
