(Worthy News) – The owner of a Christian bookstore in China has been arrested.

Zhang Xiaomai, the owner of Wheat Bookstore, was taken on September 1 and charged with “illegal business operations,” 800 of the 20,000 Christian items in her inventory having been previously deemed illegal by the communist regime.

Afterwards Chinese authorities sent a memo to all police departments to track down and confiscate the materials from Zhang’s store purchased by her more than 10,000 customers.
