> Please explain why this is different from traveling to any other country. My guess is that the "trigger" for "any other country" is much higher. Criticize the US President all you like on every social network: not a problem. Save a screenshot of Winnie the Pooh: you're playing with fire.

> Criticize the US President all you like on every social network: not a problem. given that this [1] already happened in my country, and also this [2] also happened (just to name a couple) and nobody paid, that there are 13,000 American soldiers on my Country's soil and that this [3] man has been POTUS and is probably running again for election, I wouldn't say "not a problem". US could reach me at my house if they wanted to, OTOH PRC can't do much.

I imagine this is sarcasm. Winnie the Pooh has never actually put anyone in real troubles.

  In China, Winnie the Pooh is illegal, because the dictator looks similar.

  Here's an example of a chinese Univerity of Minnesota grad student that tweeted Winnie the Pooh (among other things) while in the US, and was later imprisoned in China for it: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/university-of-minnesota-student-imprisoned-in-china-for-mocking-xi-jinping https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/university-of-minnes...

    a Chinese student. I don't support China methods, but mocking the president of your country in public, from abroad, when you know what your Country is is capable of is not a smart move, ever. It happens everywhere, different solutions, same goal: censorship and setting an example. https://time.com/4644297/saturday-night-live-katie-rich-suspended-barron-trump/ https://time.com/4644297/saturday-night-live-katie-rich-susp...
