**State Administration for Religious Affairs** (SARA) and the **Buddhist Association of China** are in charge of regulating religion in China. So far, what effect have they had on doctrine for Chinese (non-vajrayana) Buddhism? It's already well known that the Chinese government is hostile to the Dalai Lama. (Also, as a side note, for those skeptical of any government's ability to regulate belief and practice- some percent of American Zen's doctrine and practice can be traced to Meiji era government initiated reforms)
