Look, all you critics of Ping Fu need to stop complaining, because the publisher and the US media are not going to respond.
This is how we do things in America: we sue. Stop complaining, stop whining, and sue.
Here's what you need to do: sue the publisher with a CLASS ACTION SUIT. Charge the publisher with fraud. If the publisher misrepresented the book as non-fiction, it's fraud.
All you need are 2+ people who actually bought the book, preferably before the scandal broke, who can truthfully say that they were deceived into thinking the book was non-fiction, but actually it's not. They need paperwork or a receipt to prove they bought the book. Then you get a lawyer and sue the publisher for fraud.
It's been done before. Look up the book "A Million Little Pieces." Supposedly a memoir, actually fiction. So readers brought a class-action suit. The publisher had to back down and retract. That was a big story.
If you really want the US media to take your charges seriously, you must sue. If you merely complain on the internet, you will be ignored. A class action suit for 50 million dollars cannot be ignored by the media.
There are apparently hundreds of you. Stop complaining and sue.
