Does anyone know why the state-run Xinhua news agency should issue this particular piece of non-news at this time?

For anyone coming to this afresh, I recommend the essay "A Tale of Leaves" by Ernst Steinkellner, freely downloadable here: http://ikga.oeaw.ac.at/Mat.html, and the Sanskrit Manuscripts in China proceedings ed. Steinkellner, Qing, & Krasser, from the same site.
