And I don't get your argument - some Chinese researchers faked fossils, therefore all Chinese researchers fake fossils? In any case the paper from Australia in 2020 describing the current oldest bilaterian fossil was not from China, nor is there anyreason to think it was faked.
https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2001045117countries in which they were discovered.The following is from the article, explaining why the Smithsonian would not be exhibiting Lucy...
And just in the past week there's a reported discovery of an Ediacaran tunicate, ancestor to vertebrates.
https://www.science.org/content/article/half-billion-year-old-sea-squirt-could-push-back-origins-vertebrates-including-humans
Although it's got nothing to do with Ediacaran bilaterians, don't believe everything you read on anti-evolution websites about Lucy. Some of those things you read might even count as PRATTs
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_(Australopithecus)
"Work at the American Museum of Natural History uncovered a possible Theropithecus vertebral fragment that was found mixed in with Lucy's vertebrae, but confirmed the remainder belonged to her."
Perhaps you interpreted the headline "Smithsonian says no to Lucy," to represent a scientific rejection of the fossil. If you actually read the article, you'd see that it was a question of international agreements about removing fossils from the
"From the outset, the plan to bring 'Lucy' to the U.S. ignored an existing international resolution signed by scientific representatives from 20 countries, including Ethiopia and the U.S. The resolution calls for museums--in fact, all scientificinstitutions--to support the care of early human fossils in their country of origin, and to make displays in other countries using excellent fossil replicas.
It's especially distressing to museum professionals I've talked with in Africa that 'Lucy' has been removed from Ethiopia for six years, and that a U. S. museum has been involved in doing so. The decision to remove 'Lucy' from Ethiopia also goesagainst the professional views of Ethiopian scientists in the National Museum of Ethiopia, the institution mandated to safeguard such irreplaceable discoveries."

I feel this will be rejected because of the source, nevertheless as analternative source by David Milton, PhD in cell biology from Brown University. In my opinion there is too much investment from an evolution
POV for Lucy to get a fair evaluation or determination.
Lucy's actual remains did not included hands or feet and reconstructions
are commonly presented with human or near-human hands and feet despite
the fact that other skeletons of the same creature have hands and feet
which are clearly those of an ape, with curved fingers for moving about
in trees. Mary Leakey in fact had found clear tracks of human footprints
in the same strata and location as Lucy's remains and the assumption is
that at least one australopithicus MUST have had human feet.
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1651429/posts
How did Lucy die? according another article she had broken bones
indication, she fell from a height
probably a tree, Since no hands or feet were found, she is provided
with human like feet. However,
if she fell from a tree, it's more likely that she had ape hands and feet.
