In this photo taken Saturday, June 2, 2018, children play near the entrance of a church with a sign in red and black characters reading “Notice: Minors prohibited from entry” near the town of Lushan in central China's Henan province. Under President Xi Jinping, China's most powerful leader since Mao Zedong, believers are seeing their freedoms shrink dramatically even as the country undergoes a religious revival. Experts and activists say that as he consolidates his power, Xi is waging the most severe systematic suppression of Christianity in the country since religious freedom was written into the Chinese constitution in 1982.
