Damn, guess I can't get that Shadows of the Damned remaster now 
Of all the stupid things gamers do and believe in, their rabid anti-China hysteria might be the dumbest, it's just pure performative anti-communism and racism

Didn't the meme originate on the Chinese internet? I assumed that in its original Chinese context the joke was just how similar the photo looks to the drawing
It did, but your order of operations is reversed: the drawing was made specifically for the photo, and was mostly really popular in Hong Kong.
Oh
Ohhhhhhhhhhh
An I think you can see why it got canned. Tigger with one letter changed...
Along with what Thordros said, the "joke" was less that Xi looks like winnie and more that he must be winnie because Obama is......well you can guess. It is predicated on calling him a slur
I honestly just didn't expect a Chinese meme would revolve around racist wordplay in English
The one agreed upon fact is that it originated from Hong Kong.
Hence my reaction to it being from Hong Kong in an earlier comment
This is the real reason the protestors wanted back into the commonwealth, they wanted to be more racist with fewer consequences
