NGChinese authorities have released Ezra Jin, founder of the unregistered Zion Church, following U.S. President Donald Trump's diplomatic intervention during a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Jin was detained in October on charges related to 'illegal use of information networks' and had been held alongside other church members. His release was described as a 'goodwill gesture' tied to America's Independence Day. Jin's family expressed gratitude to Trump and his administration for their role in securing his freedom. Meanwhile, China continues to crack down on unregistered religious groups, with recent raids on churches such as the Early Rain Covenant Church and Yayang Church. Despite Jin's release, eight other members of Zion Church remain detained, and the church faces ongoing pressure from Chinese authorities.
