The communist regime in China is waging another “Cultural Revolution” and this time, it has worldwide implications, said Nury Turkel, a commissioner on the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).

“What is happening in China today, with respect to religious ethnic minorities, with this repressive environment ... is literally a Cultural Revolution on steroids,” Turkel said in a recent interview on The Epoch Times’ “American Thought Leaders” program.
