Eli Crane: “A truly moral position would do two things. First, it would honor those who have fallen by pursuing their lost dreams…”

On the recordJuly 22, 1998
A truly moral position would do two things. First, it would honor those who have fallen by pursuing their lost dreams and helping China reform from within. Second, it would open, not shut, the door to the message of freedom and God's love. Leaving 1 billion people in spiritual darkness punishes not the Chinese government, but the Chinese people. The only way to pursue morality is to engage China fully and openly as a friend.
