After the incident was exposed, the Central Compilation and Publishing House stopped publishing the book, and on June 19, 2009, the Central Compilation and Publishing House's Notes on Publishing a Book was released. In the explanation, the publisher explained the wrong process in this way: A Study on the Academic History of the Eastern Section of Sino-Russian Boundary: Problems of the Eastern Section of Sino-Russian Boundary from the Perspective of Chinese-Russian and Western Scholars was written by Wang Qiji, an associate professor in the History Department of Tsinghua University Institute of Humanities for many years. In order to make this book more objective, the author decided to collect some documents about the problems raised in this book from all over the world as citations before the publication of this book, which involved four languages: English, French, German and Japanese. In order to make it easier for readers to read and search, after discussion between the responsible editor and the author, it is decided not to use a simple appendix at the end of the article, but to list it through footnotes and translate it into Chinese for inclusion in the article. Because it is temporary content, it is only the translation of names and titles, and there is no contextual reference, which makes it difficult to accurately determine its specific translation. To this end, the responsible editor and reviewer communicated with the author many times, and the author confirmed that' this part is accurate'. However, after the book was published, the author told us that some readers reported that there were translation problems in the book. For example, on page 82, Chiang Kai-shek, the author of The Destiny of China, was simply transliterated as Zhang. "

The Central Compilation and Publishing House said, "After communicating with the author, the publishing house took the following measures: stop publishing the book, and the author invited industry experts to strictly check the translation of the book, re-proofread and review the contents of the book, and revise and publish it as soon as possible; It is planned to hold a seminar with Tsinghua University Institute of Humanities and Institute of Philosophy of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences to discuss some viewpoints and problems in the book. Strictly review the qualifications of proofreaders and reviewers, improve the book quality responsibility system, and strictly control the quality of books. He said that he would take this incident as an opportunity to educate all editors on quality and safety, and decided to continue the "Book Quality Year" which began in 2008.

In this "fact sheet", the Central Compilation and Publishing House expressed "heartfelt thanks to the media for their concern and valuable opinions"; "At the same time, I sincerely apologize to the readers for the mistakes in my work. We must carefully check the mistakes in our work, earnestly improve our work, continue to adhere to the academic orientation of publishing, and adhere to academic brands in order to live up to the love of readers.
