Chinas Prime Minister, Zhu Rongji, demanded higher supervision and control over religious beliefs.
After Americans criticism of Chinas persecution toward some religious groups, Zhu requested to exercise greater supervision of religions. He demanded religious groups submit to the system of communism.
Zhu excused the governments persecution toward some groups, including Falun Gong.
A diplomatic official said that Zhus standpoint explained Chinas policy toward religious groups. Those who are under the control of the XX party will be given some space.
