Was confused why they even care, but it makes sense after reading this

Last year in Shanghai, some were dressed as Winnie the Pooh and officials in white hazmat suits to protect against Covid-19, with images going viral on Chinese social media. Some event participants were led away by police.

It will never stop being funny to me that Xi and his cronies are regularly incensed with him being associated with one of the most beloved children's characters of all time.

I wish people would compare me with Winnie-the-Pooh. At least I'd have an excuse every time I was stupid. I could just say, "oh, bother," and people would gather and laugh.

Another example of "strong men" being unimaginably weak.

Ole Winnie Xi Poo got his fee fees hurt. It was always that or they were terrified of people protesting and not knowing who to jail or kill because of the masks.
