Can someone explain the winnie the pooh thing?

to speed this up i understand about the HK and blizzard/Blitzchung (ig you can add the NBA aswell) but why winnie pooh included???

Xi Jinping, King of China, was observed to look like Winnie the Pooh in China. China’s government censored it and made it illegal to point out the comparison. So everyone uses it as a symbol of criticizing China’s government or mocking their trivial censorship.

People said the authoritarian manchild of a leader looked like Pooh.

It became a meme.

He banned it.

Streisand effect kicked in.

Taa-daa

Yes, it is. China is known to be a dystopia in regards to free speech or any remote mockery of their government. Their propaganda is rampant and there is a growing stigma in the world toward their government’s silencing of anything not considered 100% Chinese.

You know how that picture of putin in makeup became illegal in russia? same thing but with a cartoon bear
