China has essentially blocked Hillary Clinton's new memoir, Hard Choices, from distribution across the country.

Clinton's publisher told BuzzFeed that the book, which focuses on her time as the U.S. secretary of state, will not be sold in mainland China. The country sees the memoir as critical of the People's Republic — Clinton wrote that China is "full of contradictions" and is the "epicenter of the antidemocratic movement in Asia."
