China has its own version of the "Emperor Has No Clothes" story. The Chinese story is sometimes called "point deer make horse". In the Chinese version, a powerful man brings a deer to court, calling it a horse. People are forced to answer whether it is a deer or a horse. Later, all the people who were honest are put to death.
