The reason the videos are rare is that it's illegal there. Quite likely putting the people in the video into prison.
Kinda just like a kiss from Judas.
The government there doesn't act against a church unless it draws attention... like this video does. Then they act. EVERYONE goes to prison.
People take different routes walking to church just to keep suspicion arising from the neighbors...and this was just last spring. I have missionary friends working there and they are very careful with any photos of people.
Taiwan is different. There church is encouraged. Much to the mainland's ire and the only reason it's tolerated on the mainland. Communist China knows about missionaries providing humanitarian aide to orphans and etc so they are left alone...so long as things are kept quiet. Preaching the gospel is illegal there and can get a missionary beaten (cane) and or jailed. And singing is considered preaching.
I understand the excitement of finding such a video...but it's still not a good idea. Probably too late for these people though. Likely they are already in jail or dead for getting caught worshipping God.
