Cue the Pooh-memes from liberals that definitely aren’t racist.
They’re direct at one guy… Wtf lol tankies are delusional
Why the obsession with portraying a Chinese man as a yellow bear? Why not a panda?
Because the authoritarian doesn’t like it. Not that deep man.
Are all heads of state “authoritarians” in your view, or just communists? Secondly, I don’t think anyone would enjoy racism being hurled their way, is racism justified if you don’t like your target and deem them evil?
Buddy he started it. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/xi-jinping-winnie-the-pooh-comparisons I’m not going to debate-bro your inability to comprehend things. Good luck.
Nowhere in your link does it state that Xi Jinping started the comparisons to Winnie the Pooh, nor why it fizzled out in China but became extremely widespread in the west, especially among racist right-wingers. You also didn’t answer my question, do you just call all heads of state “authoritarian,” or is that just for communists? And is racism justified if you think the target is evil or something?
It’s incredibly telling that you say I have poor comprehension when you can’t firmly answer anything I asked.
The funny thing about this is that Winnie the Pooh was never blacklisted. I spent 7 months last year travelling in China, and Winnie the pooh is literally everywhere. Toys, products, a fucking ride in Shanghai Disneyland.
Xi literally doesn’t give a fuck about your stupid meme. He and the rest of the country is too busy winning.
Also, extreme lols at citing knowyourmeme. Great bit

Truly
I don’t know of this is true, but my headcanon is that the comparisons were originally made with no ill intent. iirc the first ever instance wasn’t even Xi+Obama, but Xi poking out of a sedan’s roof during a military parade, which was juxtaposed to a toy figure of Winnie in a car.
People then joked that these comparisons would be censored, started making them with that in mind and when some egregious ones were deleted, it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. Censorship of (some) comparisons to The Pooh then got exaggerated into censorship of him in general.
Again, I don’t know if this is true and I don’t want to sift through muck online to look into it.
Interesting that you posted the link that also shows the orginal meme with Xi and Obama. I wonder why Obama is represented by tigger ? It’s the lanky stature right? Definitely not similarity to a racial slur, right?
So racism is justified if the victim doesn’t like it, got it
This is just “Drumpf” for racists. Yeah man I’m sure the world power’s head of state knows and cares about your little tantrum.
Case in point for the meme.
Liberals are not beating the racism allegations.Terrible troll attempt
they will literally post about how the entire nation of china is incapable of creating anything on their own and must steal it from the west and not think this is racist
As if countries haven’t been building off each other’s IP beginning with the 1800s industrial revolution…
As if China isn’t the 10th most innovative nation…
As if the west doesn’t steal technology from China on leading EV, military technology, battery, and solar technologies…
Rather than cutting Beijing off from various technologies, as the US is doing, German automakers are doubling down in the mainland as they see no other way to combat China’s advantage in electric vehicles than to learn by working alongside them.
I really hope the US is just as pissed at this IP theft
Btw the US is so evil they don’t even want to share their cancer research. Yeah let’s delay the cure to cancer to own China…
Which is extremely ironic, considering how many things that are called “american” actually aren’t.
Apple pie[1], for one
Same with homophobia regarding Russia. The number of “Putin owned because he gay!”- memes are astonishing.
