Beijing: China is exploring numerous means, including information disclosure and lawmaking, to tackle the increasing commercialisation in places of worship across the country, according to a senior official in religious affairs.
New forms of infringement of religious rights and interests have sprung up, making it more urgent to protect and promote these rights, said Jiang Jianyong, deputy head of the State Administration for Religious Affairs, during a meeting of the Buddhist Association of China (BAC) held this week in Changsha, Hunan province.
