How would you answer this, and how would you expect Chinese netizens on Xiaohongshu to answer?
I will link to the thread in the comments because I want you to take a moment and think about it first.

I linked a video, because we know he’s fine. He talks to the tank driver after climbing up on the tank, then leaves. I don’t think a picture of the PLA showing patience after leaving the square does much for your point.
Yes, hundreds of protestors were killed, and many PLA officers lynched and burned alive, and more. Nobody denies that. However, showing a dude who we know lived is not the own you think it is, nor does it say anything about US Imperialism being “nicer.” The US at the time was of course preparing for the Gulf War, which would set the stage for US Imperialism to result in 1 million Iraqi deaths under false pretenses of WMDs.

lmao top-tier troll
Why is it funny to satarize a Chinese man as a yellow bear?
So everyone can read and laugh: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Winnie-the-Pooh_in_China
The Tiger character is called Tigger
Totally not racist?
Btw, what does Tigger rhyme with, my fellow Ningen?
Censorship of memes is not fun as a person who likes memes, but considering how they lifted millions of their people out of poverty very quickly, a ban on a racist meme is ok.

Gotcha, depicting chinese people as yellow is funny to you.

Banning racist memes is not a big issue.

But the commentors above said that the Chinese govt is censoring Winnie the Pooh. This image has Pooh and also another character from the same series.
So the commentor is wrong and there is no active censorship?
Or they’re partly correct where only some Pooh gets actively censored?
Conflicting info now
Do you want to enlighten me about what’s funny about depicting a Chinese man as a yellow cartoon bear? Why not a panda? Why specifically a yellow bear?
Why do you think it’s censored to begin with?

It started as a picture with Obama as Tigger and Xi as Pooh, together, then Shinzo Abe as Eeyore and Xi as Pooh again. Then, westerners loved the Pooh imagery and used it a ton, still do. It was always based on appearance from the origin, not becayse Pooh is an idiot or anything, that’s just not true. Moreover, now you can see non-Chinese people making caricatures of Xi that are without a doubt racist using the Pooh thing as justification.
I don’t know why you’re getting so mad either.

You’re free to elaborate on the humor of satarizing a Chinese man as a yellow cartoon bear. Calling me a “tankie” for thinking that maybe we shouldn’t be using potentially racist caricatures doesn’t make much sense to me personally.
reply to the person who’s actually arguing with you, coward!
