{{Cquote|The destruction of churches in China’s Zhejiang Province has been on-going for some time, yet the Protestants and Catholics have continued to rebuild and restore their symbols. In some areas, evangelicals have replaced their crosses three times in a day. Christian pastors fear a greater crackdown on religion is on the horizon. In December of 2013, Zhejiang officials began knocking down crosses, taking these symbols of faith from over 450 different churches.
