We were pleased when we saw a new article on lds.org about the willingness of the Chinese government to outline how the Church can proceed with daily activities. This may seem like a tiny step, since missionaries, and proselyting in general, is still not lawful, except among relatives. Those desiring to join the Church in China have to travel to Hong Kong to have their baptisms performed, and there have been limitations on meetings. With this progress in the government's attitude, people in China will have more freedom in regards to their religion.
This comes about because of long, patient work with high-level officials, and we imagine because of the outstanding examples of the Chinese LDS as well, over an extended period of time.
Here is the link to the article: http://newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/news-releases-stories/church-in-talks-to-regularize-activities-in-china
