Really weird (/s) how quickly it went from a couple of Chinese tourists asking politely not be filmed to the guy embracing the racist Winnie the Pooh stereotype and talking about how oppressed Hong Kong and Taiwan are.

    It's not even a good caricature. You're saying Xi Jinping is a very polite bear who eats honey and has lots of friends? Everyone loves Pooh, so the only comparison I can see is racist. They'd rather call Xi Jinping a bunch of slurs

    Libs all think they're Charlie Chaplin dunking on Hitler, or like I don't know...Dante putting all his political enemies in hell

      It's 100% a "u mad bro?" thing. They do it because they think it pisses Xi off.

      The original meme that sparked all this was when someone compared a photo of Xi and Obama walking together with a photo of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger walking together

      No points for guessing who was who

      That one got iirc banned from Chinese social media but not Winnie the Pooh overall
