Abstract | The “Sinicization of religion” policy launched in 2015 marked a turn in the Communist Party’s approach to religious governance, opening a new era of strict control over religion in post-reform China. This article first analyzes this policy in the context of the evolution of the CCP’s attitudes to religion over the past century. It then explores the elaboration process and its implications for related official discourse and follows with an examination of the promotion and implementation of this policy. The authors argue that the new conceptual design of “Sinicization” was aimed initially at exogenous religions but later became a general policy applied to all religions, as the central power of the Party realized its utility for subtly achieving absolute authority. Such a “Sinicization” is a projection of Xi Jinping’s “Chinese Dream” in the field of religious affairs, a dream of the Party’s permanent domination under the mantle of nationalism.
2015年推出的「宗教中國化」政策標誌著中國共產黨在宗教治理方面的一個轉折,開啟了改革開放後中國嚴格控制宗教的新时代。本文首先回顧了百年來中共對宗教的態度的演變,然後分析了該政策的制定過程及其相關的官方話語,繼而對該政策的推廣和實施進行了簡要的考察。作者認為,「中國化」概念的提出最早是針對外源宗教的,但後來成為適用於所有宗教的政策,當局也巧妙地運用該政策強化了中央的權威。這種「中國化」是習近平的「中國夢」在宗教事務領域的投射,反映的是在民族主義外衣下施行永久統治的中共之夢。 |
