Isn't the only source for the Winnie the Pooh thing some unverified text message from a millionaire who posted something like this and was arrested for fraud for reasons totally unrelated to the Pooh post?
There was also a kid who was studying in America that got 6 months for posting a ton of memes (there's source court documents in that article if you want to translate them). They seem to primarily crack down on people who are criticizing the party from overseas which kinda makes sense given their relationship with imperialist powers.
Another big example people bring up is Liu Xiaobo who initially sounds good, but you quickly realize that he was basically Chinese George Orwell who saw the West as his friend. He vocally supported the Iraq war and Bush. There seems to be a pretty common thread of the people being arrested having violently reactionary views.
the rejection of Chinese traditional culture. In a 1988 interview with Hong Kong's Liberation Monthly (now known as Open Magazine), he said "modernization means wholesale westernization, choosing a human life is choosing a Western way of life. The difference between the Western and the Chinese governing system is humane vs in-humane, there's no middle ground ... Westernization is not a choice of a nation, but a choice for the human race."[39]
In that same interview, Liu was asked what it would take for China to realize a true historical transformation. He replied:
[It would take] 300 years of colonialism. In 100 years of colonialism, Hong Kong has changed to what we see today. With China being so big, of course it would require 300 years as a colony for it to be able to transform into how Hong Kong is today. I have my doubts as to whether 300 years would be enough.[39][40]
hahhhahha wanting to get colonized for more than 300 years to possibly become a nation of gammon
It's no wonder this guy was put in prison...we take shit like this for granded in places that were never colonized, but wishing for colonization after losing millions of lives to it is fucking insane.
It's entirely possible that he was a Maoist at some point and when he left, he was taken in by a group like RFA/CIA and they just started feeding him lines. I don't know how you end up with takes like this without being some sort of op.
He vocally supported the Iraq war and Bush.
That's a big TIL.
Like the Christopher Hitchens of China.
My favorite thing is that the people who handwring about Xinjiang and China destroying their culture are the same people who cite Liu Xiaobo as a human rights activist. A person who was so islamaphobic that he supported a genocide in the middle east and said no matter what they say, I will continue to support the invasion.
I guess human rights can be applied selectively huh.

Unpossible. How can you be anti-Beijing and pro-Genocide. I was told it was the Chinese who were doing the Muslim Genocide.

American Propagandists be like: "What if we make the President of China look like a beloved children's cartoon character? This will surely own him."
social media posts and images comparing Xi and Pooh were censored, but yeah, no one got arrested for it
No, the level of censorship and surveillance is dystopian. And this attempt to rewrite/whitewash history is alarming.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
I'll bite, either explain or reveal that this is a failed bit lol
Freedom of speech is being able to post hog. If you did this on chapo dot chat, you'd be sent to horny jail.
Also let's just ignore the fact that the US has some of the most brutal copyright laws in the world. You can get decades for having "illegal files" on your computer. That's not freedom of speech, that's just protecting businesses profits.
Freedom of speech is me shitting pissing and cumming on the sidewalk of an urban area. If you did this in Communist China, you'd be arrested.
you're right marsha, this definitely makes up for no healthcare
SIR I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN LOSE MY FREEDOM TO POST UNCREATIVE DUNKS
