According to the Zhejiang police, in September 2020, a primary school student in Haiyan County discovered that there were gaps in some areas of Zhejiang Province on the map.

Between March 2016 and March 2021, Wang, who runs a cultural company, used his connections in the map industry to obtain through others the provincial maps of 31 provinces in China published by Fujian Map Publishing House and China transportation map ***32 map printing files. Afterwards, Wang found Qi, who had no printing qualifications but had a printing machine, and He, who ran a lamination factory, and others to carry out illegal production. In addition, Wang, knowing that Qi's company did not have printing qualifications, used the qualifications of other printing companies to obtain entrusted printing orders issued by Wuhan University Press, and printed four models of Wuhan University Press including maps of the People's Republic of China and the Republic of China.
