Christians' ability to speak biblical truth is at risk in Finland due to an overly broad hate speech provision in Finnish law. In a stunning case, a Christian member of the Finnish parliament, Päivi Räsänen, has been charged by the Finnish prosecutor general with three counts of "ethnic agitation." Each count relates to Räsänen's respectful expression of her widely-held Christian beliefs.

Fascinating discussion of China's struggle with the effects of corrupt Western culture and wealth inequality in an article almost 4 months old, for me highlighting the need for the Gospel especially among young, educated Chinese. https://palladiummag.com/2021/10/11/the-triumph-and-terror-of-wang-huning/
It's a long article. Wang Huning became disillusioned with America as a visiting scholar at a time when for most Chinese "the moon was more round in America" (meaning everything's great) but he saw the negative effects of individualism, loss of family and tradition, and wealth inequality. Now he's in a high government position as they try to deal with the same rootless individualism, nihilism, and wealth inequality he saw in the west.
