“Some of these students are sent by para-church organizations like Campus Crusade for Christ. That organization is not permitted any official presence in China, but it has regional leaders scattered all over the country. Campus Crusade students sometimes speak among themselves in a sort of English-language Christian slang to disguise what they are really saying. Here is a brief glossary of terms and their meanings:

“PRC–‘Pray to receive Christ,’ not People’s Republic of China…

“The Company–Campus Crusade for Christ, not the CIA.”

—Jesus in Beijing
