It’s Friday, October 11th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I’m Adam McManus. ([email protected]) By Adam McManus China and North Korea partner to persecute Christians China has subjected hundreds of North Koreans to atrocities since last year by forcibly returning them to a country whose leaders hold that religion, especially Christianity, is the greatest threat to its power, experts said at a recent U.S. hearing, reports Morning Star News. Investigations have shown that torture, sexual violence, enslavement, and murder await those repatriated from China to detention centers in North Korea led by its Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un. At the hearing of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom on September 26, Greg Scarlatoiu, executive director of the non-governmental Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, said, “Any religious belief, and Christianity in particular, as well as South Korea, constitute the only challenges to the Kim regime’s absolute monopoly on power. Christianity offers an alternative way of life that delegitimizes tyranny and transcends oppression.” Hanna Song, executive director of the Database Center for North Korean Human Rights, explained that when North Koreans are forcibly repatriated from China back to their home country, one of the first questions they will be asked by authorities is whether they have met with a missionary during their time in China. “The answer determines the severity of punishment they will endure. If an individual admits to or is found to have had contact with a missionary, particularly one affiliated with Christianity, they’re often subject to the harshest forms of torture and imprisonment.” Joanna Hosaniak, with Citizens’ Alliance for North Korean Human Rights, explained that refugees have revealed that China was using facial recognition technology to track down North Korean migrants in China. And Chinese officials rewarded those who report people aiding them. Chinese authorities share North Korea’s desire to punish those of religious belief. She said, “The goal is religious persecution,” adding that Chinese companies cooperate in this task in a way that is tantamount to human trafficking. There is evidence that some Chinese companies are linked with North Korean companies. According to the Open Doors 2024 World Watch List, North Korea is the most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian.

WHITAKER: “Groceries are 25% higher, and people are blaming you and Joe Biden for that. Are they wrong?” HARRIS: “To your point, prices are still too high, and I know that, and we need to deal with it, which is why part of my plan, you mentioned groceries, part of my plan is what we must do to bring down the price of groceries.” Not surprisingly, Harris never shared her plan to bring down grocery prices.  So Bill Whitaker said this. WHITAKER: “Harris says she will press Congress to pass a federal ban on price gouging for food and groceries, but details are yet to be defined.” He asked the Vice President about whether the process of her becoming the nominee was fair. WHITAKER: “Was democracy best served by President Biden stepping down and basically handing you a nomination. You didn't have to go through a primary process. You didn't have to fight off other contenders. That's not really the way our system was intended to work.” HARRIS: “I am proud to have received the endorsement of leaders around this country from every background and walk of life to fight in this election over the next month for our democracy.” WHITAKER: “But I think th
