Xi as Winnie the Pooh is racist
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.

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?
Death to America
Gunna call out Robert Fedvans' Behind the Bastards subreddit for this. You mention that you think that depicting an Asian man with cartoonishly yellow skin might be related to the Yellow Peril racist trope and all of a sudden it's "The Chinese started it!" and "it's just because Xi doesn't like it!".
Yet when you point out that similar racist tropes like the mascots for certain American sports teams are racist caricatures with cartoonishly colored skin (red in this case) and that people understand that as racist and it's crickets from them
Crossposting because it was so hard to find anything about this online that wasnt some slanderous Wow Xi is so sensitive, what a baby -NPR
I saw I'd had a comment removed, thought about why, and took ten minutes to do some 'research' and self reflection. Thank you to the comrade who called me out.
Wow Xi is so sensitive, what a baby
Triggering Xi to own the “authoritarians.” — libs who do not do not move and so do not notice their chains.
Missing the excuse of "well Chinese people started the meme so it cant be racist for anyone ever to repeat it"
If you’re hesitant of portraying Obama with big ears and big lips even though “every other president is depicted the same way,” but then you should think about why you’re okay with depicting Xi as some yellow guy
