China steps up campaign to remove church crosses - The Times of India: "The campaign is not restricted to Wenzhou, but with an estimated number of Christians of more than a million, it presents a prominent target.
Bob Fu, president of US-based religious rights group the China Aid Association, said the pace has "definitely increased".
"It seems there is a government directive to finish the campaign under a deadline," he told AFP.
But church members said they had seen no formal documents, and received only verbal orders.
"Now we have people guarding the churches. It's also likely that there will be clashes," said a church representative in Tengqiao town."
