The article is vague, but the "Bible stories" it refers to seem to be Old Testament stories.

If there is no mention of Jesus on these stones, how does he know the designs are Christian? They could be Jewish.

This symbol also has no mention of Jesus, but it's Christian meaning is pretty obvious. FISH.

You figure that Jews were in China at that time?

From my youth, I remember reading an article on the front page of the newspaper in Plansk (a Polish shtetl), headlined: "Revolution in China: Good for the Jews."

In light of this new evidence, perhaps I should have taken that headline more literally.

Interesting point. I'm curious wether there is any historical evidence that the Jews and Chinese had contact before the year of 87 AD
