China suffers from a "spiritual vaccum" says Mistress Killer

The Los Angeles Times just ran a story about the return of the "second wives" (concubines or mistresses) to China. When the Communists took power, they outlawed the practice; now that capitalism is entering (again) into China, the problem is on the rise. That is to be expected as China now has a "commodity economy" in which anything is for sale. Companies have been created for the sole purpose of tracking down the cheating spouses.

Wei Wujun (famous private detective) hit the nail on the head, perhaps unknowingly, when he said that the problem was a spiritual vaccum. As long as anyone, regardless of location or ancestry or government, tries to fill the "God-shaped hole" with anything other than God, it will be a spiritual vacuum.

As China experiences growing pains associated with their changing economy, the answer is not far from them. The answer is not a return to Mao's ideology; the answer is not having more money; the answer is not even having a change in government. As long as "materialism is... their god" there will be trouble. Opening the doors (or Wall) to Christ is the only answer.

Wei Wujun was wrong on one area, however. It is not "many people with power and money are never satisfied" but rather all people who try to have just money.

Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless. Ecclesiastes 5:10
