【广西钦州村民堵收费站，抗议政府乱收费与警察对峙】8月1日，广西钦州市钦南区久隆镇村民发起抗议，堵塞国道G325上的久隆收费站，抗议地方政府违规乱收费以及堵塞村道，并与大批警察对峙。
当天晚上，迫于压力，当地政府拆除了堵塞在村道上的水泥墩。
村民表示，久隆收费站早在2024年就已超过收费年限，按规定应当撤除，但当地政府为了敛财，仍强行收费，甚至用水泥墩封死村道，阻止村民绕行。
2009年起，中国取消了国道收费政策，但自去年起，多地政府借口“运营维护”，重启了国道收费。
今年4月12日，村民曾因同样原因围堵了久隆收费站，迫使其暂停收费，但仅过了两天便再度开始收费。
[Guangxi Villagers Block Toll Station, Confront Police Over Illegal Fees]
On August 1, villagers in Jiulong Town, Qinzhou City, Guangxi, launched a protest by blocking the Jiulong toll station on National Highway G325. They accused the local government of illegally continuing to charge tolls past the expiration date and of blocking village roads. The protest escalated into a standoff with a large number of police officers.
That evening, under mounting pressure, the local authorities removed the concrete barriers that had been used to block the village road.
According to villagers, the Jiulong toll station’s authorized charging period expired in 2024, and it should have been dismantled according to regulations. However, the local government, motivated by profit, continued to enforce toll collection and even blocked alternate village routes with concrete barricades to prevent locals from bypassing the station.
China officially abolished tolls on national highways in 2009, but since last year, many local governments have resumed toll collection under the pretext of “maintenance and operations.”
On April 12 of this year, villagers had already staged a similar protest at the Jiulong toll station, forcing it to temporarily suspend toll collection. However, the tolls resumed just two days later.

投稿：「广东广州广福教会成立二十周年之际遭当局打压」“广州广福教会是一所信仰坚定的中国基督教家庭教会，由马超牧师（又名马可）于2005年创立。自成立以来，特别是自2015年起，该教会频繁遭受当地各政府部门的逼迫，近期更是达到新的高潮。
这些年来，广福教会不断受到来自广州市白云区宗教局、国保、公安、街道办等多个政府机关的打压，方式五花八门，包括：在聚会场所张贴封条、焊死门锁、刁难牧者的海外神学教育经历等。2015年教会举行十周年纪念活动时，多个政府部门联合“抄家”，查抄教会物资，同工与信徒更遭到殴打。
教会创办人马牧师本人亦屡次遭受逼迫，多次被不出示证件的政府相关人员软禁，软禁地点包括别墅、宾馆等地。期间马牧师曾问：“我究竟犯了什么罪？”对方答道：“你没犯罪，要是犯罪你早在监狱了。我们只是执行领导的任务。”
2025年是广福教会成立二十周年。教会并未举行纪念活动，原以为可平安度过，岂料逼迫再次来临。此前，地方政府相关领导曾承诺，只要教会不诉诸法律、不上访，就允许其正常聚会。教会信任了该承诺，未料新领导上台后，竟公开否认原先的承诺，态度强硬。政府持续加压，包括强行干预教会消防设施安装，将实际成本仅约20元的设备恶意报价至500元；并在教会门前安装高清摄像头，威胁信徒称：“广福教会是非法教会，你们只能去三自教会，否则就抓人。”更有一名信徒因参与聚会，其原本享有的低保被村干部取消，尽管其孩子患有残疾。对方甚至嘲讽道：“你不是信耶稣吗？那就让耶稣来给你发低保吧！”
在高压之下，教会聚会人数大幅减少。但即便如此，马牧师依旧不屈不挠，坚定表示：“就算只有一个人来聚会，我们也会坚持下去。”
求神保守马牧师和他的教会，并恳请众弟兄姊妹为他们恒切代祷。”
Submission: “Guangfu Church in Guangzhou Faces Renewed Persecution on Its 20th Anniversary”
Guangzhou Guangfu Church is a faithful Chinese house church founded in 2005 by Pastor Ma Chao (also known as Mark). Since its establishment—and especially since 2015—the church has faced frequent persecution by various local government departments, which has recently escalated to a new level.
Over the years, Guangfu Church has been repeatedly targeted by the Baiyun District Religious Affairs Bureau, state security, police, and local neighborhood committees. Tactics have included sealing off church premises, welding shut doors, and harassing Pastor Ma over his overseas theological education. In 2015, during the church’s 10th anniversary, multiple government agencies jointly raided the church, confiscated materials, and even physically assaulted staff and believers.
Pastor Ma himself has also been persecuted numerous times. He was repeatedly placed under house arrest by officials who did not show any identification, held in locations such as villas and hotels. When he once asked, “What crime have I committed?” one officer replied, “You haven’t committed any crime—if you had, you’d be in prison already. We’re just carrying out orders from above.”
2025 marks the church’s 20th anniversary. The church did not organize any commemorative events, hoping to avoid conflict. However, persecution resumed unexpectedly. Previously, local authorities had promised that as long as the church didn’t pursue legal action or petition higher authorities, it would be allowed to hold services. Trusting this assurance, the church refrained from legal recourse—but when new officials took office, they publicly denied the prior commitment and adopted a harsher stance.
Pressure on the church has since intensified. Authorities have interfered with fire safety installations, inflating the cost of a device worth roughly 20 yuan to 500 yuan, and installed high-definition surveillance cameras outside the church. Believers were threatened: “Guangfu Church is illegal. You must go to a state-sanctioned Three-Self church, or you’ll be arrested.” One church member, despite having a disabled child, had their government welfare revoked for attending services. A village official even mocked, “Don’t you believe in Jesus? Let Jesus give you welfare!”
Amid heavy pressure, the number of attendees has dropped significantly. Yet Pastor Ma remains resolute, declaring, “Even if only one person comes to worship, we will continue.”
May God protect Pastor Ma and his church. Brothers and sisters are earnestly asked to keep them in constant prayer.
