Because the work was written by Fang Lizhi, and was just posted a few days ago. Books are still referred to by their publish date even if they're published posthumously. Why should web articles not be attributed the same way?

  But this isn’t a published work; rather, it’s an excerpt from a previously published work.

    The book was published (in English, at least) just this month, according to most sources I could find.
