ENGLISH

ChinaAid today issued a strong call for immediate and concrete U.S. government action following a bipartisan, bicameral letter led by Senators Ted Budd and Tim Kaine and Representatives Riley Moore and Thomas Suozzi urging President Donald Trump to press for the release of Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri ahead of his meeting with Xi Jinping.

“Words are no longer enough,” said Bob Fu, President of ChinaAid. “The Chinese Communist Party has escalated its systematic campaign to eradicate independent religious life. The United States must respond with consequences—not just concern.”

Pastor Ezra Jin, a leader of Zion Church, was arbitrarily detained on October 10, 2025. His case is not isolated—it is emblematic of a nationwide crackdown targeting house churches and religious minorities.

ChinaAid underscores that Pastor Jin’s detention is part of a broader pattern of persecution, including:
   •   The sentencing of Wang Yi of Early Rain Covenant Church to nine years in prison
   •   The ongoing enforced disappearance of human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng, missing for nearly nine years
   •   The 15-year prison sentence of preacher Yang Rongli of Linfen Golden Lampstand Church
   •   The continued imprisonment of democracy advocate Wang Bingzhang, serving a life sentence
   •   The systematic dismantling and repression of churches such as Early Rain Covenant Church and Golden Lampstand Church

“These are not isolated abuses—they constitute crimes against humanity targeting people of faith and conscience,” Fu added.

ChinaAid calls on the U.S. Administration to immediately:
1.Publicly and unequivocally demand the release of Pastor Ezra Jin and all prisoners of conscience in China
2.Invoke the International Religious Freedom Act to impose targeted sanctions, including Global Magnitsky sanctions, against responsible Chinese officials
3.Deny visas and restrict entry to perpetrators and their families
4.Elevate religious freedom violations as a central, non-negotiable issue in all U.S.–China diplomatic engagements

“Failure to act decisively will only embolden further repression,” Fu said. “The credibility of the United States as a defender of human rights is at stake.”

ChinaAid affirms its unwavering commitment to exposing persecution and standing with the persecuted church and all victims of religious repression in China.

对华援助协会今日就美国国会两党两院致信一事发表强硬声明，呼吁美国政府立即采取实质性行动。该联名信由参议员特德·巴德、蒂姆·凯恩及众议员赖利·摩尔、托马斯·苏奥齐牵头，敦促唐纳德·特朗普在与习近平会晤前，推动金明日牧师获释。

对华援助协会会长傅希秋表示：“仅仅表达关切已经远远不够。中国共产党正在系统性消灭独立宗教信仰空间，美国必须采取有后果的行动，而不仅是口头声明。”

金明日牧师于2025年10月10日被任意拘押。他的案件并非个例，而是中国当局在全国范围内打压家庭教会和宗教群体的缩影。

对华援助协会指出，这一迫害模式还包括：
   •   王怡牧师（秋雨圣约教会）被判九年重刑
   •   人权律师高智晟被强迫失踪，至今已近九年音讯全无
   •   山西临汾金灯台教会传道人杨荣丽被判刑十五年
   •   民主人士王炳章仍在服无期徒刑
   •   秋雨圣约教会、金灯台教会等教会被系统性取缔与打压

“这些不是零星个案，而是针对信仰群体和良心犯的系统性迫害，性质已构成反人类罪行。”傅希秋强调。

对华援助协会呼吁美国政府立即采取以下行动：
1.公开、明确要求释放金明日牧师及所有宗教与良心犯
2.根据《国际宗教自由法》及全球马格尼茨基法案，对相关责任官员实施制裁
3.对施害者及其家属实施签证限制与入境禁令
4.将宗教自由问题提升为美中外交中的核心且不可谈判议题

“若不采取果断行动，只会助长更严重的迫害，”傅希秋表示，“美国作为人权捍卫者的信誉正面临考验。”

对华援助协会重申，将继续揭露迫害事实，并坚定与中国受压迫的教会及所有宗教自由受害者站在一起。
