      The Winnie the Pooh thing was so confusing to me as I didn’t get the connection. I love Winnie and it blows he was used to be racist.

      Didn’t the whole “Xi looks like Pooh” thing start out as a harmless meme from Chinese citizens though? Wasn’t it Western social media that co-opted it and turned it into a racist caricature?

      • Maybe, but I’m taking about after this. And it’s sad, because Pooh is actually a very sweet and caring character, to be converted into that…

        At first it was used comparing Obama and Xi with a picture of Winnie and the tiger walking.
