The most critical reason why China cannot let religions be loose on their own, is the preaching of Sovereignty of god. Sovereignty of god dictates that "the supreme ruler" is the god, thus the believers can "rightfully" oppose their human rulers in the name of their god.
Buddhism is one religion that does not teach Sovereignty of god and Buddha was not god but an enlighten Human, and it is thus the most tolerated religion in China. One the other hand, the two Middle-East originated religions preached creator god and sovereignty of god, and can be and had been (as in Taiping Rebellion) political and military challenge to overthrow government of the day.
Therefore, de-radicalisation of any religion is essential to maintain stability in China, radicalisation on the other hand is a tool for the anti-China foreign countries using NGO and churches to bring chaos in China.
By the way, I believe in human evolution, human creation is just fairy tale, just like the flat Earth, the six days creation and god will only accept 144,000 believers to heaven etc.
What is Sovereignty of god?
Sovereignty means that God, as the ruler of the Universe, is free and has the right to do whatever he wants. He is not bound or limited by the dictates of his created beings. Further, he is in complete control over everything that happens here on Earth. God's will is the final cause of all things.
Sovereignty is often expressed in the language of kingship: God rules and reigns over the entire Universe. He cannot be opposed. He is Lord of heaven and earth. He is enthroned, and his throne is a symbol of his sovereignty. God's will is supreme.
