Top 50 Countries With Persecution Of Christians

My title is “Top 50 Countries With Persecution Of Christians”.  The headline in Christianity Today was “Asia Rising: The Top 50 Countries Where It’s Hardest to Follow Jesus”.  The CT headline made me wonder, why didn’t they use the word “persecution”.  Why did they instead write “where it’s hardest to follow Jesus”?  Furthermore, did they use the word persecution anywhere in the article at all?  In fact, “persecution” appeared 64 times in a series of five articles that appeared on the web page.  All five of them had titles about “hardest”, “most dangerous”, or “most difficult” to be a Christian.  None of them used the word “persecution”.  BTW, the one article I’m focusing on contained the word “persecution” 19 times.
