WORK PLAN FOR SPECIAL ADMINISTRATION ON CHRISTIAN ACTIVITIES IN DUODAO DISTRICT.
"I. Guidelines and General Requirements. Fight against
infiltration activities by hostile overseas forces under
the guise of Christianity and safeguard the stability in
our society... by taking as our
guidelines the important instructions... from the
National Christian Working Seminars... and leading comrades in the
central
government....
"II. Chief Principles. "...For the illegal and criminal activities
under the guise of Christianity... priorities should be given to persuasion, education,
guidance, etc....
"One should always persevere
in the principles of unity, education of
the majority of people and isolation and crackdown on
the small minority and give priority to guidance,
persuasion and patient and careful ideological
education. ... We should further
standardize the system of establishing and
registering Christian sites....
"We should do our best
to place as many ordinary believers and their sites for
religious activities into our legal administration so as
to keep the development of Christianity reasonable,
healthy, and orderly....
"'Gathering sites established without
proper authorization' refers to the sites where people
frequently hold Christian gatherings without the
approval and registration papers from the government
agencies in charge of religious affairs.... All their illegally acquired income shall be
confiscated. For the sites established without proper
authorization that preach heresies, religious
fanaticism, feudal superstition, or harm the
physical and
mental health of the people and violate the laws
of the state, the public security agencies should
resolutely crack down on them and abolish them.....
"For those who spread heresies,
object to 'Three-Self Patriotic Movement”
and illegally collect money, we should educate them,
prevent them from doing so, and order them to stop their
activities....

"...tackle the problem of Christian
fundamentalism. ... We should enhance the

education and guidance and dilute the sectarian
sentiments....

using the police force and ... prevent improper handling from
becoming the excuse for the attacks by the overseas
hostile forces.... Once there is a mob assembly of
trouble-makers, emergency plans should be activated
immediately and resolute measures should be taken
immediately so that the incidents can be
neutralized
on the spot and immediately."
