Well, I can fade it and you can fade it, but there were only a few lines in the entire article that the author put in bold print with the intent that we pay special attention to them ---> The Doctor has the right take on it — he doesn’t know if it is authentic or fake, but the more important aspect of the story is that lots of Chinese elites believe it could be true, and are passing the thing around on social media. Make what you want of that — I am not sure how I feel — my wife certainly believes it. But the more fundamentally amazing thing is the fact that this has been shared and commented on by thousands of Chinese elite. What I do believe is that regardless of authenticity, etc --- is its being passed around by the elites who I suspect are doing so because THEY BELIEVE IT. [emphasis mine] And this comment very revealing: This is how a religious falsehood (assuming it’s fake) becomes a social fact. [emphasis mine]
