    …You mean the meme that Chinese people were outlawed from doing because it’s not offensive to Chinese, it’s offensive to the leader?

    That’d be like saying caricatures of an American President (of which there are hundreds of) are racist. Even when most of them were made by Americans.

        …How?

        That doesn’t even make sense. They’d literally just be too dumb to understand what it was even about.
