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.
