I have been hearing these claims they were printed in China, but see no hard evidence. I don't even see the book on Amazon. The only thing I see on Amazon is the referenced bible published by Thomas Nelson in Tennessee. That does not mean that Nelson--or a more current version--did not outsource the printing to China.
I see an AP article that vaguely references "global trade records" for their claim. Other news sources are just repeating what AP says. In other words, circular referencing.
NOw I am not saying that it's crazy to think these bibles are not printed in China. Trump was called out by goof Letterman for making neckties in China.
Anyone have an actual photo of the bible and the printing source?
