To this day, church groups around the world, and particularly in the US, continue to raise money from their congregations for the express purpose of buying Bibles and smuggling them into benighted heathen China, where they believe the book is still banned. Most of them do not realise the Bibles they buy abroad are quite likely to have been printed in this factory in Nanjing

Only in a world of full of irony isn't it?

As well as giving these people a sense of becoming part of a larger international community reaching outside of China percieved to be freer & open, all the practical & well reasoned Greek philosophy cobbled into the Bible's New Testament pages would have great appeal too.

The same thing happened 2300yrs ago after Alexander conquered Palestine & Egypt when Greek language arts, technology & philosophy massively influenced everyone, simply over ran & took over cultures everywhere, the force of their passion, skills & knowledge were so great.
