Today, one of the biggest communist nations is China. They face many issues due to the communist government in their country. Before WW2, the United States was trying to influence and help China and make them a capitalist nation, but after the war, China became allies with Russia and was completely hostile to American ways and interests (Navarro 22). Something interesting is that the Chinese communist party was formed in 1921 by young Chinese intellectuals, not unlike the United States and how socialism is supported by many young Americans today (Leibo 24). Along with communism came much change in China. Like so many other communist countries, they broke from a lot of their former ways such as Confucian notions and their ways of hierarchy

hardly sells anything to China in return. America is deeply in debt to China and they just keep on spending money. In 2008, China's foreign currency reserves was at a shocking $1.81 trillion, and it just keeps growing. This total is greater than every single country's annual economic output, except for nine of them (Jacques 189). Seeing the state of China's corrupt government should be a good example of what happens when governments take over and abuse their power. The United States just keeps on feeding China more and more money, and keeps digging itself deeper into debt. There is not much the United States can do in order to help China, except try and stop feeding its corrupt government money. The United States should not support China's evil government by buying billions of dollars worth of stuff from them and should definitely refrain from embracing similar ideals that started them on their road to such corruption as is seen today. During Bible times, one of the churches greatest enemies was the governing authorities. Every single one of the disciples was murdered because of their faith in the LORD Jesus. Besides Christianity, tons of other religions have been persecuted by the government, such as the Jews during the reign of the Nazis in Germany, Roman Catholic Vietnamese were persecuted by the communists, and even today Christians are being restricted more and more with how open they are about their faith …show more content…
For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. (English Standard Version Romans 13:1-7)
Now the framers of the U.S. constitution obviously knew what they were doing because the constitution has stood the test of time since 1789. Also keep in mind, that the framers of the U.S. constitution embraced Christianity and even incorporated it into how their government works. Many Christians can notice the growth of the government into places it doesn't belong, such as the federal government falling away from the enumerated powers that have been delegated to it very obviously in the U.S. constitution (The Briefing
