You are correct, that's a shit source. They've lied alot in the past, apologies for my failure here.

Here are some better sources: https://www.axios.com/2020/01/23/china-arrests-university-minnesota-twitter

https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/china-student-arrested-xi-jinping/

https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-china-blog-40627855

You truly have epicly owned me, with facts, and logic even.

You can refer to the picture in iridaniotter’s comment for evidence countering the assertion that Winnie the Pooh is not depicted within China in any capacity. As for your claims about Luo Daiqing, the Axios article cites a court document that is written entirely in Mandarin and a Twitter account that has been suspended, while the article on the Daily Dot relies on the Axios piece, so unless you’re able to read Mandarin, you posted a source who’s validity you and most other people here have no way of confirming because it validated what you already believed.

For the record, I am assuming that Luo was arrested and sentenced for the reason Axios alleges they were out of good faith, but your apparent inability to vet the sources you link, which is evidenced by both what I talked about above and the fact that you initially posted nothing but an almost comically transparent propaganda piece, is troubling nonetheless
