Notes

↩ [1] 大原则 (dà yuánzé): Literally "large/great principle." In CPC discourse, this refers to fundamental positions of political principle that cannot be compromised or negotiated, often linked to the Party's ontological security and ideological purity.

↩ [2] 萨菲拉主义 (sàfēilā zhǔyì): Refers to the "Saphirists" or the theological influence of the late 19th-century missionary Moritz Saphir (or related currents). In this context, it likely refers to a specific strain of Christian fundamentalism or millenarianism that the authors view as peripheral or heterodox.

↩ [3] 邪教 (xiéjiào): Often translated as "evil cults" or "heterodox teachings." Historically, this term dates back to the Ming and Qing dynasties to describe movements that threatened social stability. In modern PRC law and political science, it distinguishes banned organizations (like Falun Gong) from the five legally recognized religions. Unlike the Western sociological term "cult," xiejiào carries a heavy legal and political connotation of organized anti-social activity.
