How confident should I be in the veracity of paleontological discoveries coming out of China?

This find seems legitimate with the construction workers, halting of the project, and minor excavation done in the public eye (of course this is just what is reported in some newspaper). If you are buying fossils in China, they are much more likely to be fake than real. For more expensive pieces the quality can fool a paleontologist in the field.

You'll have to get used to the fact they are getting the credibility they deserve now. Not that they don't lie. That we all do anyway. But that they have the same skill as us.

More than in the confidence of climate research coming out of the US.
