Actually, it is not fake news.
Chinese Constitution article 36 states that China can apply change to religion if they were to accepted or in other word, "registered" by the government of China. And those change are to make so that they will not impede the political or educational system of China. That is written in Chinese Constitution (like the US constitution under article 36, about freedom of religion)
A lot of changes are done to religion in order to be accepted in China, (like the way and where to practice it) but yes, talking about changing the books are the first time (At least the first time I ever heard of) and it is within their power to do that in order to "prescribe" religion to their people.
I just talked about it with
@Indos in whatever section of this forum.
