CHINA-VATICAN: RELIGIOUS CONTROLS

In an article titled ' Focus on improving the level of religious work in the new era' in the latest issue of the bi-monthly Communist Party theoretical journal Qiushi, or 'Seeking Truth' issued on August 17, 2018, the Director of the State Administration for Religious Affairs (SARA) Wang Zuoan said “There is no affiliate relationship between our country’s religions and foreign religions. Our country’s religious groups and religious matters do not accept domination by foreign forces." Stating that religion should not be allowed to interfere in administrative, legal or education matters, he added “The separation of government and religion must be upheld.” 
Wang Zuoan made no direct reference to any religion or the talks with the Vatican.
