Could this be Jehovah's Witnesses?
Just saw this on Yahoo home page.

Haha. The olympics is a perfect opportunity for christians to attempt to set up a beachead. Bet the chinese authorities missed the other 99% of the bibles being brought into china.

Definitely not Jehovah's Witnesses.
They are using words that JWs do not, like "the persecuted church" and "bringing Bibles to Chinese Christians".
It just doesn't sound like "theocratic" language.

Do JWs distribute bibles?

It's Vision Beyond Borders.
From their website:
"Many of the six billion people on the earth have never heard of the name of Jesus Christ. The disciples were sent out to preach the Good News of Jesus to the far reaches of the world. We believe that Vision Beyond Borders is helping to fulfill that commission with the same urgency found in first-century Christianity."
Their webpage:
And here I thought only the JWs were preaching "throughout the entire inhabited earth."
BA- Lol.

I believe the page you linked us to mentions the group "Vision Beyond Borders".
Thanks, Inquisitor, I was looking so much for it to be Jehovah witnesses, I overlooked the group name.

It's not like china hasn't experienced christianity. Anyone heard of the taiping rebellion 1851-64? Some chinese thought that he was jesus christ, and 20 30 millions died in the ensuing conflict.
