    “Making fun of Xi Jinping is racist”

    Winnie the Pooh is banned in China because Chinese people were making fun of him that way. I guess Chinese people are racist?

    I’m done lmao y’all are insane, I really don’t care about a bunch of headlines about Chinese citizens being strongarmed into saying “I love the CCP.” There’s a reason you can find a lot of Americans talking about how they don’t like the American government, and not a lot of Chinese people saying they don’t like the Chinese government, and it’s not because the Chinese government is perfect. Adolf Hitler won his last election with over 99% of the votes. Do you think that’s because he was just such a great political leader?

      Winnie the Pooh is not banned in China, despite Western propaganda to the contrary.

      There’s a reason you can find a lot of Americans talking about how they don’t like the American government, and not a lot of Chinese people saying they don’t like the Chinese government, and it’s not because the Chinese government is perfect.

      No government is perfect, but Chinese people like their government a lot more than Americans like theirs for good reason: their material conditions have been steadily improving over the last several decades while ours have been steadily deteriorating under grinding neoliberalism.
