Recently, a Chinese historical book titled "Sun Chongzheng (Recklessness): A Diligent King's Undoing" was published and posted online. However, within less than two months, authorities took it down. Reports suggest it was removed due to printing issues, but the book's cover title raises political associations.
The book was published on September 1 this year, authored by Tran Ngo Dong, a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and former director of the School of History at the Central University for Nationalities.
