China's Slowdown Helps US in Trade War / "I Don't Want Your Jesus" - Guilin Mountain Chief

Welcome to China Compass on the Fight Laugh Feast Network! I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. You can follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I post daily reminders to pray for China (PrayforChina.us). You can also email me with any questions or comments @ bfwesten at gmail dot com.  You can also find easy links to everything we are involved in @ PrayGiveGo.us!   Summary Today I begin by discussing the recent US-China Trade War (2:13), followed by the latest rule changes for tourist visits to China (12:39). Then I talk all about Guangxi (21:21), my first and only visit to the karst mountains of Guilin (28:48), and share fascinating stories from the missionaries and martyrs who served in Guangxi, including my friend’s grandfather (30:43).   Recommended Resources (in the order they were mentioned):    Operation China: Introducing All the Peoples of China https://www.asiaharvest.org/operation-profiles His Life For Mine: A Missionary’s Story (The Life and Legacy of Joy Bausum) https://a.co/d/gY0Huyp The Memoirs of William Milne (Foreword by Dan Bausum): https://a.co/d/bALLtAf In the News:  https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/chinas-slowdown-has-changed-trade-war (Paywall) https://www.china-briefing.com/news/china-upgrades-144-hour-visa-free-transit-to-10-day-stay-adds-21-ports/ Pray for China Province of the Week: Guangxi (Zhuang Autonomous Region) Guangxi in south central China is matched up with Alabama and Mississippi for prayer.
