Elder Oaks,
I think the following publication, although in Japanese, might be useful for the Church. Two years ago, a Chinese author and 14 Japanese researchers published a comprehensive reference work on Chinese Christianity. The book carries relevant laws, clauses of Three-Self Committee, related statements by government officials, and notable Q-A sessions with US media, etc.

Actually, I did a very similar thing to Elder Maxwell years ago when I was the translator for him at a conference held in Kyushu (or in Okinawa). At that time I informed him that the master hands of Three-Self movement were those who severely persecuted house church pastors. I was then rather critical of the Three-Self Leaders.
The meeting with Elder Maxwell was very brief, less than five minutes, but he kindly listened to my 'briefing.'

I met him after a conference and showed him the book. He asked me to send one copy to him thru Elder Stevenson.
