    It’s not even true. Winnie the Pooh is factually not banned in China. The Wikipedia sources a BBC article, which also provides no proof of the censorship, and then goes on to state.

    “Despite the censorship, there is no general ban on books and toys depicting Winnie-the-Pooh in China; two Winnie-the-Pooh-themed rides still operate in Shanghai Disneyland.[2][3]”

    No. Winnie the Pooh isn’t banned in China at all, even online. If someone uses Winnie the Pooh as a racist caricature, then yes that specific post will often times be removed.

    How you people constantly pretend to not see the racism is beyond me. What’s is the connection from xi to Pooh? Because I’m always told “he looks just like him” which is 1: untrue and 2: just racist (chubby and yellow bear with small eyes looks just like Asian man…? Yeah no racism there!!)

    Imagine if it was a thing to use King Kong to represent Obama and the people using It’s excuse was “it looks just like him!”. Would you defend it? It’s extremely racist.

    Racism against Asians is just widely accepted for some reason.
