China is installing cameras in churches around the country. Officials are saying this is for security purposes and a measure against terrorism. <br /> <br />But Christians in China are outraged. They claimed that there were several cases of churches being destroyed and pastors dragged away if they didn't comply immediately. <br /> <br />Authorities say that the new ruling does not target churches alone, but is intended for all public areas, and said cameras have also been installed in schools and hospitals. <br /> <br />This is not the first time Christians in China feel targeted, though. In Zhejiang, which has one of the largest Christian communities of around 1 million, has had friction with the government before. <br /> <br />In 2014, a campaign that called crosses on top of churches "illegal structures," removed 360 crosses and destroyed one church. <br /> <br />This sparked international outrage, at the time, with people fearing the persecution of the 60 million Christians in China.
