Dr. Zhao Xiao: Beyond Economy: China’s Transformation with the Cross

There are really only four international platforms through the sweep of history. Economics, Political, Sports, and Faith. China wasn’t prominent on that fourth stage — until now.

Bill Hybels spoke about influence, moving people from HERE to THERE. But right direction is also very important. Martin Luther’s protestant reformation is the most important change since Christ. The discovery of America is the most important change in the last 1000 years. In the last 100 years, what is the most important change?

Xiao posits that the Rise of China will have an impact over the next few centuries.

China is not “rising up” as much as it is returning to prominence on the world stage.

China’s economic goals cannot be successfully met without the morals and ethics provided by Christian faith. The economy will fail, the culture will collapse without the underpinning of Christian beliefs.

China needs Christian nations to partner with her to insure the success of Christian ethics within the culture of China.
