A German publisher's cave-in to Chinese threats |
2020-05-05 |
[IsraelNationalNews] “I fought the good fight, I finished the race, I kept the faith”. It is the last page, a quote from the New Testament, of the diary of the writer Wang Fang, popularly known as Fang Fang. Since the start of the pandemic quarantine in Wuhan, Fang, this outspoken writer who was president of the Hubei Writers Association, has kept her “Diary from Wuhan”. Sixty entries that will flow into a book where not only the sacrifice of doctors and volunteers is told, but also the errors of the regime. In China, Fang has now become a “liar”, “traitor”, one who “discredits her country”, as well as receiving death threats. In mid-April, the German publishing house Hoffmann und Campe and the Anglo-Saxon HarperCollins announced their intention to publish the diary later this summer. The Deutsche Welle international broadcaster now says that the original cover of the German edition of the “Diary” has been withdrawn. |

#1 Interesting. I was able to download the cover from the site of a major German book chain. 15 minutes later I reloaded the page and the cover was gone. |
