story这个词在这句话中是不是有“捏造,编造”的意思啊?

While other countries that tracked the launch say North Korea's rocket fell into the Pacific Ocean, Ms. Yu appeared to suggest that China accepts North Korea's 【story】 that it succeeded in its stated goal of putting a satellite in space.
　　———————华丽的分割线————————
　　我的感觉应该带有认为“这仅仅是编造出来的故事而已”的意思，但是同时像“That story has got into the newspaper.
　　那件事已见报了。”这样的句子又让人觉得story是个中性词，各位怎么看的呢？
