Look, China is posturing before G-20 submit. They want bigger say in the world economic affairs and want them to be heard. So they are just making noise to attract some attention before the submit. This is regular posturing. Its like Russia saying, I have 5000 nuclear bombs to destroy this planet 30 times, and if I am not heard, I will explode them all in Russia, c'mon, get real, what will it cost to talk some sense.

"The whole history of these books is so defective and doubtful that it seems vain to attempt minute enquiry into it: and such tricks have been played with their text, and with the texts of other books relating to them, that we have a right, from that cause, to entertain much doubt what parts of them are genuine. In the New Testament there is internal evidence that parts of it have proceeded from an extraordinary man; and that other parts are of the fabric of very inferior minds. It is as easy to separate those parts, as to pick out diamonds from dunghills."
