Chinese emperors have the power to easily give order to burn books. But the most famous book-burning incident happened during Qin Dynasty (around 221-206BC), when all of the books, except the books of medicine, adivinar and agriculture, got burned.

You may be thinking that Hitler & the Nazis burned books. Yes some books that the Nazis did not like were burned, however this was done for publicity. Actually book burnings were not a major feature of Nazi German life. The Germans valued books & education in general, and would have burned anti-Nazi books & books written by Jews.
