The China Communist Party (CCP) concealed the facts behind the epidemic, causing COVID-19 (covid, in short) to flood the world. However, on 28 February 2020, the CCP has launched a book entitled "2020 A Battle Against Epidemic" at this time, touting how the Xi Jinping authorities "resisted the epidemic," and has sparked public outrage in China. 


The CCP official media said that this "big book" with a length of more than 2 million words was directed by the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China and the State Council Information Office, and was jointly edited and produced by Wuzhou Communication Publishing House and People's Publishing House. In the future, English, French, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic versions will also be launched.

The content of the book brags about the so-called mission and responsibility of the Communist Party leaders in responding to the epidemic, strategic vision and outstanding leadership, and "powerful and effective" prevention and control of the epidemic.


Because the current global epidemic and death data in the affected areas is still rising, people are still desperate to survive. The book launch by CCP has incurred criticisms online.

On 2 March 2020, many netizens found that the CCP’s book, which boasted the government's response to the epidemic, was suddenly withdrawn from shelves.

Many netizens also reminded everyone that "2020 A Battle Against Epidemic" may have been banned. Buying it quickly before the ban has historical significance. The book is the witness of this ridiculous era and the physical evidence of the crimes of the Communist Party.

According to China media, the withdrawn book from stores is said to devote the first chapter on how SARS-CoV-2 was released in Wuhan, hence admitting the CCP is overall responsible for the outbreak. 

Netizen Wenzhi listed the chapters accordingly : Poisoning, concealment, hundred family banquet, transmission, suppression, prevention, control, outbreak, city lockdown, province lockdown, cremation, carols, power struggles, mutual tie and finally perish.





Some netizens slammed, "The CCP as the scourge directly detonated and spread the plague, which harmed China and the world. Even if the book was published on order, it could not wash away CCP's sins. "

Some netizens also said, "The vaccine is not available, the antidote is not available, what is not needed ... The book was published first! How to read the title? 'Great War Epidemic' or 'National War Epidemic' (in Chinese)?"

Netizen Quan Zhisheng angrily condemned the CCP's move, arguing that the title of the book should be renamed "The Foolish Boiler War." He condemned CCP, "Shameful, shameful, shameful! Is there any more shame in the world? I don’t know where the virus came from, there is no antidote, no vaccine, no accountability, There was no apology, but the book was coming out. The praises to the CCP were coming out! Shameless, despicable and ridiculous! "

Netizen Lauwater said, "How many people have died in this plague? I don't know. How many people will have to die? I don't know. When will they be alive? I don't know, but the book '2020 A Battle Against Epidemic' was published. CCP is vigorously publicizing their wrongdoings. The CCP knows no shame and is terrible. "


Some people questioned, "The book talks about victory yet thousands have died. The whole of China is in fear. The mistakes have not been investigated. The responsibilities have not been clarified. The flamboyant contest has just started to boast."

Others questioned, "There are countless patients with covid in the hospitals. Thousands of unjust souls have disappeared. Students can’t go to class yet. So you started holding a grand celebration party? Blood, red blood on the celebration party. Can we keep our mouths shut? "


On the other hand, the CCP is still making rumours on the Internet, mentioning the epidemic in and outside Hubei is under control and shrieking responsibility over the cause of the Wuhan virus outbreak to the United States.

Netizens have ridiculed Wang Huning, the Standing Committee member of the Politburo Standing Committee in charge of propaganda, for releasing and recalling the book.

Wang Huning is known as the "Three Dynasties National Teacher" because he crafted the "three represents" of Jiang, Hu's "development view", and Xi's "Chinese dream". During the epidemic, Wang was appointed as the sole leader of the central leadership group. He recently threw out brainwashing propaganda such as “patients joining the party” and “rehabilitated people don’t want to leave” the makeshift hospitals.

French media believes that perhaps all kinds of criticism have come to Zhongnanhai following the book launch. This book is ridiculous in comparison with the reality that is happening in China. 

Some people have analyzed that the book was suddenly taken off shelves for more complicated reasons.  Firstly, the book release might cause more human disasters than covid. The CCP wants to eliminate public memory as much as possible after the epidemic, and is unwilling to leave any publications behind.  Secondly, the epidemic records do not have any meaning. Thirdly, the propaganda about Xi Jinping is not in line with high-level intention to control the epidemic. Fourthly, during the epidemic prevention period, the deployment of supporting resources such as printing, logistics, and promotion may not be able to keep up with the demand for the truth. In addition, the response to the book is not satisfactory. There is the possibility of rollover or a delay in the release.

Normally the CCP’s propaganda and stability maintenance are extremely important in echoing Xi Jinping’s repeated instructions that the epidemic prevention efforts should be strengthened to maintain stability and guide public opinion. The withdrawal of this CCP's book is an exception.
