Drawing on history, political theory, and religious analysis, Mosher argues that the animating force behind communist rule in China is not merely political ambition, but a deeper rebellion against God, moral order, and every authority higher than the state.</p>\n<p>Tracing this pattern from Chairman Mao to Xi Jinping, the book shows how the regime has cultivated an all-consuming demand for loyalty that reaches into religion, conscience, and daily life. Mosher explores the replacement of Christian worship with political indoctrination, the suppression of churches, the confiscation of Bibles, and the elevation of party leaders into quasi-sacred figures demanding obedience and devotion.</p>\n<p>He further connects modern Chinese communism to older currents in Chinese political thought, especially Legalism, showing how a long tradition of centralized, absolute power prepared the ground for today’s totalitarian system. The result is a sobering study of tyranny, idolatry, and the spiritual cost of a society ordered against God.</p>\n<p>Direct, provocative, and unflinching, this book challenges readers to see communist persecution not only as a geopolitical issue, but as a profoundly moral and spiritual one.</p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">What This Book Examines</h3>\n<ul style=\"margin: 1.5rem 0; padding-left: 1.25rem;\">\n<li>The anti-religious foundations of Chinese communism</li>\n<li>The cults of personality surrounding Mao and Xi Jinping</li>\n<li>The persecution and manipulation of Christianity in China</li>\n<li>The connection between modern totalitarianism and ancient Legalism</li>\n<li>The moral and spiritual consequences of a state that sets itself in God’s place</li>\n</ul>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.4rem; margin-top: 2rem;\">From the Book</h3>\n<blockquote style=\"font-style: italic; border-left: 4px solid #E2E2E2; background: #fafafa; padding: 1rem; font-size: 1rem; margin: 1rem 0;\">The totalitarian state does not merely seek obedience.

The Devil and Communist China: From Mao Down to Xi
In The Devil and Communist China, Steven Mosher offers a forceful examination of the spiritual and ideological roots of the Chinese Communist regime. Drawing on history, political theory, and religious analysis, Mosher argues that the animating force behind communist rule in China is not merely political ambition, but a deeper rebellion against God, moral order, and every authority higher than the state.
Tracing this pattern from Chairman Mao to Xi Jinping, the book shows how the regime has cultivated an all-consuming demand for loyalty that reaches into religion, conscience, and daily life. Mosher explores the replacement of Christian worship with political indoctrination, the suppression of churches, the confiscation of Bibles, and the elevation of party leaders into quasi-sacred figures demanding obedience and devotion.
He further connects modern Chinese communism to older currents in Chinese political thought, especially Legalism, showing how a long tradition of centralized, absolute power prepared the ground for today’s totalitarian system. The result is a sobering study of tyranny, idolatry, and the spiritual cost of a society ordered against God.
Direct, provocative, and unflinching, this book challenges readers to see communist persecution not only as a geopolitical issue, but as a profoundly moral and spiritual one.

Lee Edwards (Chairman Emeritus, Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation)
“Part history, part biography, part religious exploration, The Devil and Communist China is a compelling study of the evil ideology that is Communism and of its most demonic practitioner today—the Chinese Communist Party and its megalomaniacal leader Xi Jinping. Mosher knows China and Communism through personal experience as few in the West do. He brings to bear his considerable erudition and understanding in this timely book which argues convincingly that the specter of Mao Zedong haunts China and the world today. Once you start reading, you won't be able to put it down.”
Robert Royal (Author of The Catholic Martyrs of the 20th Century: A Comprehensive Global History)
“The demonic nature of Communist China ought to be self-evident to everyone. But it’s not—which is why Steven Mosher’s clear, steady, and comprehensive examination of its true nature is so very valuable. This is a book to read very carefully. And amidst the many troubling things he documents, he never loses sight of the fundamental spiritual battle going on, nor does he fail to remind us of the power to combat devilish evils that we have received in Jesus Christ.”
Fr. Lawrence Carney III (Author of The Secret of the Holy Face)
“After writing The Secret of the Holy Face, a book explaining how God wants us to fight the scourge of revolutionary men, I quoted that China killed a conservative estimate of 65 million. This is a very timely book because it gives us a cautionary tale about the evil that awaits us if we abandon God: enslavement of the world population, destruction of the family, erasure of national identities, famines, close friend informants, etc. God is currently punishing the world by taking away Christianity. This book is a wake-up call to ‘man-the-deck’ in the mystical combat of all time. God loves to watch a soul battle it out for salvation. Equip yourself with this book like a helmet of salvation and get to know the common enemy of all that is good.”
