More on the Nashville 10, American Summer Camp in Fujian, and a 4 Hour Email at a Chinese "Wangba"

Welcome to the China Compass Podcast! I start by sharing some observations from last week's Nashville Sentencing, which took place just after I recorded the interviews with Denny and Uncle Bundo.  The most important thing I mention is Denny's bold declaration to the judge, which you can read here: https://chinacall.substack.com/p/missionary-arrested-in-nashville Also, please bookmark Denny's extensive online used bookstore, which is one of the primary ways he supports his family and ministry: https://www.remnantbooks.org/ In my interview with Uncle Bundo, we forgot to encourage everyone to pray for Heather Idoni, one of the Nashville 10 (and a grandmother!) who is already in federal prison due to a similar conviction last year: https://freeheatheridoni.com/ The CCP is brought to you by Pray for China (https://prayforchina.us/) and today's province is Fujian on China's SE coast (paired up with South Carolina).  After a short overview of Fujian, I discuss China's subtle propaganda at a Summer Camp FOR AMERICANS in China, hosted outside of Fujian's capital, Fuzhou: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/07/09/world/politics/xi-young-americans-scripted/ I also discuss China's CURRENT war with Taiwan, just miles away (in certain places) from Fujian: https://asiatimes.com/2024/06/chinas-war-with-taiwan-is-already-underway/ During story time, I tell about meeting a fighting couple (domestic abuse) and an elderly Christian man during the long walk through the old city streets of Fuzhou in 2003. Finally, I finish by describing my attempt at pronouncing (and finding) "net bar" (wangba) in Fujian 20 years ago, and the time I spent four hours(!) writing an email to my now wife.
