'support' means the CPC control important affairs, the christians follow church hierarchs approved by the party. of course the buddhists in tibet & elsewhere also have party-approved leaders. any liberal and probably some christian socialists would find this unacceptable breach of freedom of religion. I like it because i don't like freedom of religion as such but lets not pretend the CPC is actually soft and significantly diverging from the soviet line---they're not.
