Hillary Clinton's new memoir "Hard Choices" has been denied translation and English-language distribution in China, her publisher, Simon & Schuster, told NBC News on Friday. A day after the book hit shelves in the U.S., Shanghai Book Traders, which supplies foreign books to Amazon China, told executives at Simon & Schuster that the title would not be approved for sale in the country, Buzzfeed first reported. Simon & Schuster president Jonathan Karp said he hopes Chinese publishers change their minds.

Fuel their massively polluting power plants with it.

Remember the Senate hearings on Chinese cash, and the over 100 Chinese that had been subpoenaed, and fled the nation rather than testify?
Imagine the level of contempt the Chinese leaders must feel toward Hillary if they’re willing to alienate her — a possible future president of the U.S. — by banning her book.
Unlike the thousands of Hillary ‘’supporters’’ who have meekly succumbed to her extortion tactics by forking over $200,000 in speaking fees to her campaign so she won’t destroy them with the I.R.S. and so on if she wins the presidency, the Chinese apparently couldn’t care less about any future payback Hillary might have in store for them.
In Britain, Hillary’s book is having a different type of reception: although it hasn’t been officially banned, it might as well be, since it’s only 94th on Amazon.UK’s bestseller list.
