If you follow the links you'll find they refer to a man charged with involvement with an illegal *group* of Christians. AFAIK there is a state sanctioned Christian church in China and I assume they have bibles of some sort. So no, distributing bibles is likely not illegal in China.

I'm not saying throw em all out, just that if we are to make pragmatic decisions about packages we should take that into account. e.g. it is worth us standing up against a law outlawing X windows, but maybe not one that outlaws a minor desktop applet.
