Or Pooh Bear.
Or South Park entirely after one episode of joking about China influencing Disney about Pooh Bear.
Or failures of the central government.
There are a lot of things banned online in China; this is so not true.

- throw382824 2y agoThere is a Winnie the Pooh ride in Shanghai Disney. I frequently see it mentioned in Chinese social media.

- adamsb6 2y agoYou can buy Pooh merchandise in just about every mall in China. My son has a Pooh sweatshirt we bought at Uniqlo in China. You just can’t use it as a coded way to agitate against the government.
- csdreamer7 2y ago> Chinese social media is pretty vibrant with the exception that you can’t agitate for the fall of the government. Just because one criticizes or expresses anger at the central government does not mean that they want to induce mobs that will topple it like in Ukraine. I sincerely doubt China's future history books will talk about the Pooh Bear mobs that brought down Xi's government. More likely to complain about housing or jobs.
