The president saw that.
Knox ThamesGUEST
There is the state-sanctioned church, three-self church movement.
Knox ThamesGUEST
And I'm not saying those believers aren't sincere, but they have agreed to operate within certain parameters and bend a knee to Chairman Xi.
Knox ThamesGUEST
And those who refuse to do that like Pastor Ezra Jinn are locked up.
Knox ThamesGUEST
Now, thankfully he was released, but we know many, many others remain behind bars.
Knox ThamesGUEST
And something that we called for along with Christian Solidarity Worldwide and the Stephanus Alliance was for Mr. Trump to press Chairman Xi on these prisoner cases.
Knox ThamesGUEST
That's what the first Trump administration and the Biden administration both found.
Knox ThamesGUEST
And so we elevated both of those gentlemen and urged President Trump to raise them.
Knox ThamesGUEST
Now, we weren't the decisive voice with getting Ezra Jinn raised by the president.

What role do you think human rights is going to play in this week's talks? Top of mind or no?
Susan CrabtreeCORRESPONDENT
He has spent years, he organizes an annual religious freedom summit that I attend, and he pushes on these issues, and he knows when there's leverage.
Susan CrabtreeCORRESPONDENT
They have hope because Ezra Jin, pastor of an underground Christian church, was released after the May summit between Xi and President Trump.
Susan CrabtreeCORRESPONDENT
So even though it's not one of the big agenda items, you know, you've got Iran, the war on Iran, you've got AI, you've got trade, uh, but and, and amazingly enough, even though all these huge issues are on the table, Xi decided to release Pastor Jin, and he was at, he actually attended this event last week on, um, at the Museum of the Bible, because Trump pushed the issue.
Andrew WalworthHOST

Why not suggest releasing all imprisoned Christians and allowing all people of whatever faith to worship freely?

China also bullies, jails, and otherwise silences dissidents.
