Anyone looking to purchase Hillary Clinton's new memoir, "Hard Choices," will be out of luck if they live in China.

According to publisher Simon & Schuster, the book has been denied translation and English-language distribution in China, NBC News reports. A day after the book went on sale in the U.S., Shanghai Book Traders, which supplies foreign books to Amazon China, told Simon & Schuster the title would not be sold in the country.

China likely said no because in the book, the former Sectary of State criticizes China's censorship and other polices. In "Hard Choices," which details Clinton's four years in the Obama administration, Clinton also recalls a unpleasant conversation with China's state councilor, Dai Bingguo.

"We regret that no Chinese publishers [have] been allowed to translate and distribute 'Hard Choices,' by Hillary Rodham Clinton. Simon & Schuster is extremely disappointed that the English-language edition is not available in mainland China, despite our efforts to export the book to the region," said Simon & Schuster President Jonathan Karp, adding that he hopes Chinese publishers change their minds.

"It really is about a Chinese business fearing the wrath of the Chinese government," Karp said, per BuzzFeed.

The former senator's book has been No. 1 on New York Times bestseller list for two weeks. It is also being sold in 22 other countries, the publisher said.

This week, Clinton declared "I don't need anybody to defend my record" in an interview with PBS NewsHour, according to Time.

She said that after President Clinton defended what she said about how the family financially hurting after the Clinton presidency ended. Critics said her words proved she's out of touch with average Americans. "She's not out of touch," Bill Clinton said Tuesday at his annual domestic policy summit, reports CBS News.

"I shouldn't have said the five or so words that I said," Hillary Clinton said, referring to when she said her family was "dead broke" when it left the White House. "But my inartful use of those few words doesn't change who I am, what I've stood for my entire life, what I stand for today."

Although the former first lady acknowledged her gaffe, she asserted that she doesn't need anyone to stand up for her.

"My husband was very sweet today, but I don't need anybody to defend my record. I think my record speaks for itself," Hillary Clinton told PBS.
