"The philosophy of Father Malebranche having penetrated into China, where, it is said, it was appreciated, M. de Lionne, bishop of Rosalie, vicar apostolic in this country, encouraged him to compose his Conversations between a Christian philosopher and a Chinese philosopher on the existence of God. Trévoux's journalists, shocked by his assumption that the Chinese were imbued with atheism, reproached him for favoring Spinosism through his system of intelligible extension that he admitted in God.
