[QUOTE Green Eggs and Communist Propaganda… I mean, Red Flags and Ham. No that’s still not right. Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham was banned in the People’s Republic of China in 1965 for being a “portrayal of early Marxism”. The ban on this book, an act of censorship implemented by the Maoist government, wasn’t lifted until 1991. Green Eggs and Ham, if you’ve never read it, is a whimsical children’s book that encourages kids to try new breakfast food. At first I couldn’t possibly fathom how this could be communist propaganda. I’ve heard some ridiculous conspiracy theories in my time but the Marxist analysis of Green Eggs and Ham takes the cake. Then cuts the cake into evenly-sized pieces and distributes it equally. Although the Chinese government never elaborated on the reasons behind the ban, popular internet conspiracy theories are here to fill the gap. The theory states that the main character Sam’s initials stand for the Socialist American Militia. But it doesn’t end there: apparently the ham in the illustrations is shaped like Russia. The mouse in the house represents all the little people converted to communism, who, in a Marxist state, will all have a roof over their heads. The goat represents the agricultural benefits enjoyed under a communist regime and the flag on the boat is red, the colour of the communist brigade. Even the breakfast itself is a metaphor for communism. Once you try it, you’re guaranteed to like it. However, the Chinese government didn’t like this portrayal of communism at all, resulting in a 26-year-long ban on Green Eggs and Ham. ][/QUOTE] http://farragomagazine.com/2016/05/24/banned-books/ The more things change, the more they stay the same.

For know, they have "merely" stopped republishing his major books. Outrightly banning them will be the next step.
