Doesn't like China have a Winnie The Pooh park or something and it's been proven Xi could care less about the racist meme?
When has reality ever mattered to these idiots? More than a few of them think that posting that stupid Tienanmen Square text wall at Chinese users can actually get those users flagged/banned/grabbed by the Chinese secret police
I've seen actual news articles claim that Winnie the Pooh is straight up banned in China. You can just do a quick search to see that this isn't true, but that doesn't stop our intrepid Western journalists.
The Christopher Robin movie not being released in China was also not because of Xi's hurt feefees as some people claim, but because only a certain amount of Western movies are released in China per year, and it's not like Christopher Robin was exactly a smash hit.
Christopher Robin is the Barry Lyndon of the 21st century. You lack the intellectual to understand its subtleties and nuanced perspective.
I watched a Chinese drama where I think I saw every single Winnie the Pooh character on a shirt at least once.
I was in China and there was Winnie the pooh merch everywhere. I even made a post about it
From what I remember, what actually happened was there was a very shit racist meme circling around around when Obama was the president, and he had visited China and was acting “friendly” with Xi.
In any case, the meme was basically Xi as Pooh and Obama as Tigger. Because of racism.
The meme was banned because of the Obama Tigger thing. That was the big deal. Not Xi as Pooh.
Your shenanigans have displeased the kkkrakkker kkkkommunitttyyy.

googling 'winnie the pooh china' you'd maybe get this before the tenth page of results, I'd never have considered it existed if you hadnt mentioned it
Couldn't care less, surely?
