idk if the “lie” claim is the best language they could have used since there seems to be a few sources supporting it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Winnie-the-Pooh_in_China
that said, obligatory fuck tankies but this is a good meme and fuck ICE.
EDIT CONTEXT: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/06/25/norwegian-tourist-jd-vance-meme/
ICE and CBP claim the guy was denied entry for drug use. I don’t fucking believe them personally after stories like Khaby Lame essentially being forced to self-deport after some racist MAGA kid decided personally getting him deported was a good move.
But u know we all about honesty in this joint so
Winnie the Pooh is not banned in China, but comparison between him and Xi are cencured.
It’s much more than that cause censors are trigger happy af so basically anything with Pooh is 99% of the time censored.
Its wild to see people defend this
Tankies gonna tank.
they weren’t defending it they were engaging in conversation on a topic which they have a fractionally different perspective/use of the language than you
gyatt damb the internet is truly poison
Nah you’re just sharing dictatorship propaganda be it willingly or unwillingly so go back to the tankistan please 🙏
geez its moments like this im glad i distanced myself from lemmy. touch grass? nay. touch a whole field. count the blossoms with the skin of your fingers. hold a sunbeam and watch it pass over your body as time passes by. smile into the wind.
Fully propagandized idiot who will follow you around commenting on all your posts if you say a single nice thing about China btw ^
tragic
I have no first-hand knowledge of what China is, or isn’t, censoring. Anyone here actually tested it that can weigh in?
Wouldn’t suprise me. Due to the meme status it would be usage has to be used more as a symbol for making fun of the goverment and so on, than fans for the books and series.
Still, it’s not illegal. The twitter post is miss-representing the popular line, i have rarley seen any banned claims and far moee on the cencuring line. On a similar note i don’t see a lot of defending of the policy either, so i don’t get what that is about.
It is technically illegal too and all Chinese know not to fuck with censor machine if they want any career in their future as at any point CCP goons can come with all of the evidence and start throwing shitbat you getting you fired or worse. It’s not some secret either.
