The Chronicles of Narnia illustrates the Chinese Communist Party

Discovering how much the “Chronicles of Narnia” can teach about the CCP has been a surprise.

It can sometimes seem like fiction to attribute to governments intentions that go beyond providing a public service, administering citizens' contributions, looking after their basic rights, and looking after their best interests.

However, governments themselves declare their intentions in official communiqués and the media publishes them, as in the case of China and its communist leaders.

Sometimes, reality outweighs fiction.
