Are there any religious cults in China

[yang88]

Dear cecil,
In recent years world has seen thousands of people (young, old, children) loose their life and money since they got trapped in cults in search of God and heaven and were unable to get out. What about China? Are there any deadly and dangerous cults there? Thanks.

Dear Anon,
So far, China has come to grip with economic development and thus the focus on most people's mind is to make `money' and security for their family.
Many Chinese at the moment are simply `struggling' and not so fluent to be involved in cults.
So far, Chinese government view the Fa Long Kong cult a threat and another major `gang' as threats to the fabric of the society.
Otherwise, the country can be considered relatively free from `cults'.
In the past, especially in overseas Chinese, such as Hong Kong and even Singapore, secret societies were more prevalent especially in the 1950's; 1960's and 1970's due to the poorer economic situation in such countries.
Today, these countries are relatively free from secret societies.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
