Cardinal Pietro Parolin claimed on VaticanNews.va that for the first time in decades all the bishops in China are [allegedly] "in communion with the Bishop of Rome".
According to VaticanNews.va seven regime bishops are admitted to full ecclesial communion: Joseph Jincai, Joseph Bingzhang, Paul Shiyin, Joseph Xinhong, Joseph Yinglin, Joseph Fusheng and Vincent Silu.
When Shiyin was consecrated a bishop by the Chinese Communists in 2011, LaStampa.it wrote that he lives in a concubinage with a woman and has a child.
In the last decade, the persecution of Christians in China reached a peak with thousands of crosses removed, hundreds of Churches demolished and at least 300 Christians arrested.
