Since the outbreak of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, the world has been skeptical of China’s confirmed cases and deaths figures. In fact, this is not the first time that the totalitarian regime is facing the world’s scrutiny for spreading disinformation on matters related to health emergencies: in 2003 it was the SARS coverup.
But how many are aware of the fact that even the school textbooks in China contain distorted information on history, both theirs and the world’s? Here are five of the biggest lies that Chinese students are taught in school.
Lie #1: Sino-Japanese War
For decades, the Chinese communist regime has been claiming that it led China to victory and defeated Japan during the Sino-Japanese War. However, this is far from the truth, and the CCP claiming the credit definitely does not sit well with the Kuomintang troops—the soldiers who fought in the war.
“The Chinese Communist Party didn’t defeat Japan,” said veteran Maj. Tao Shin-jun to Los Angeles Times in 2015. “During those eight years, it was us Nationalists who were fighting—the communists were not doing battle with the Japanese. They were trying to get Nationalist soldiers to defect to their side.”
According to The Epoch Times editorial series “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party,” historical evidence has shown that the CCP “intentionally avoided battles in the Sino-Japanese War.” The series also mentioned that in 1972, Mao Zedong told Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka that the “CCP would not have gained power in China” if the war didn’t happen.
Notwithstanding the historical evidence and archives, the authoritarian regime told Chinese educators in 2017 to rewrite textbooks on the country’s war with Japan.

Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party
Those who speak TRUTH are condemned, destroyed, and sometimes murdered.
US academic institutions and the free press have degenerated into political propaganda machines that speak with one voice: the newspeak groupthink party line. They consider TRUTH to be whatever they can convince the masses that it is.
TRUTH for its own sake, the only thing that can save America from destruction, is anathema. They hate and fear it. It threatens their groupthink paradigm, which perversely is like a religion to which they adhere with blind faith.
The evil behind all this is of no concern to them. Evil, like TRUTH, to them, is whatever they can convince the masses that it is, if, in their minds, it even exists.
God, Who is the only ultimate TRUTH, is also obviously held in contempt.
However, note tagline, and thank God for President Trump.
The more you know about your opponent, the stronger you become; a lot of Chinese speak English, few English speakers speak Chinese.
