My comment above is literally a summary from a presentation by the Cardinal Kung Foundation. For decades it was illegal to be Catholic in China and the priests and bishops operated clandestine at great risk of being caught. In place of the Catholic Church the Chinese Communist Party created the Patriotic Association to operate like the Catholic Church using priests and bishops who would break communion with Rome in favor of the local communist government. The “deal” between the Vatican and the CCP attempted to reconcile the two groups to each other in a way that was favorable to both but it did not work out that way.
I’ll show you the podcast I was listening to when I saw your original comment. It was basically saying the exact opposite at the exact time I read your statement. https://youtu.be/H672okUKCeQ?t=4479 It’s mostly just an ironic situation, rather than being some rigorous academic source. But still, it seemed more credible, since it was a person who lives there. Meanwhile your source names ‘CCP’, which is either a made up thing or a slur version of CPC. CPC is the political party leading China. They set the goals for the different Chinese governments to achieve.

I see. In this case I think Cardinal Kung Foundation simply doesn’t know or are lying. They’re based in Washington DC, which is the headquarters of the USA regime, and those are the people who recently spent 1.6 milliard USD on anti-China propaganda. They obviously have an agenda. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/house-passes-16-billion-to-deliver-anti-china-propaganda-overseas/ar-AA1qp59U
