I don't know what to think about this since I still beleive they should have a conversion. She does seem sincere.

A few of them underwent full conversion and made aliyah to Israel. As for this women I think she can teach us about Chinese culture but she also need to learn allot from us about Judaism because most of it was lost in Kaifeng.

She was saying about not accepting "Rabbinic" and then they sing 1) the Hatikva which was European secularists and 2) Lecha Dodi which is Rabbinic and not even Rabbinic (Talmudh) but much later composed by 16th century Rabbi Shlomo Halevi Alkabetz
.   ד  עֹזְבֵי תוֹרָה, יְהַלְלוּ רָשָׁע;    וְשֹׁמְרֵי תוֹרָה, יִתְגָּרוּ בָם
4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as keep the law contend with them.

ה  אַנְשֵׁי-רָע, לֹא-יָבִינוּ מִשְׁפָּט;    וּמְבַקְשֵׁי יְהוָה, יָבִינוּ כֹל.   
5 Evil men understand not justice; but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
