I note that super basketball player Jesus's owner shaved. That reminded me if a guy from my Navy days. He was a big monstrously hairy dude - Yeti like even. One day I walked into our coop, living quarters, and he was shaving his very fury chest. I was like WTF. I had known him for a couple years and, being on a ship, seen him in various states of dress. His tattoo was unnoticeable due to his hair. He said that he had to shave to get the tattoo some years before. Last I knew, as I left, he was on his third drug bust. Many of us used drugs throughout our time, and a little common sense kept us safe from being caught.

China Upholds Christian's 7-Year Prison Sentence for Selling Bibles, Christian Books - Michael Foust

Christianity isn't outlawed in China. However, all religions and social movements are heavily monitored. He needed to obtain the right permissions to sell such materials. How I read the story, his biggest problem was selling one particular writer's stuff - a man already imprisoned in China. Add to that that most of the books were printed in Taiwan. China doesn't like people with large followings - some years back,, they outlawed one form of QiGong because the leader had 100 million followers.
