With the launch of mormonsandchina.org, a new website aimed specifically at those from the People’s Republic of China who have joined the LDS Church while living in other nations of the world, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is publicly addressing for the first time a number of questions about its membership and operations in China. “Our more open communication about the church in China follows our developed relationship of trust with Chinese officials and our concern for the PRC citizens who are joining the church throughout the world,” said Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the LDS Church’s Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, who has supervised the church in the People’s Republic of China under the direction of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles for a number of years.
