Congress continues to pressure China over its Christian religious oppression after a symbolic bipartisan resolution took effect in both chambers of the legislature on Nov. 12.  

The resolution, introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Andy Barr (R-TX) in their respective chambers, called on the Chinese Communist Party to release hostages from the Zion Church, and put an end to its “systematic and constant persecution of Christians.”
