I’m literally in a Chinese hostel right now with a Winnie the pooh mattress.
You fool, the CCP thought police unit are going to backtrace your photo and execute the hostel owner and their entire bloodline now!!!
Lmao imagine the Chinese equivalent to Epstein is getting photos of people with Winnie the Pooh contraband and using that to keep them in line
it’s a massive fucking lie anyway; anyone who’s been to china can tell you they have winnie the pooh merch in every fuckin’ shop. winnie the pooh is very popular there.
So they’re surely just randomly banning those words from videogames
I knew woke leftists making vidyagames political was CCP plot
It’s always projection. Even if they’re not literally doing the thing that they accuse their opponent of doing yet, the fact that they’re making the accusation reveals their intention.
Ah shit, this means they’re gonna do everything they made up about Xinjiang (if they’re not doing it already at the alligator place)
Didn’t this turn out to be fake?
I think US customs said it was because he admitted to using drugs in the past and had photos of a paraphernalia on his phone. He said they ignored that stuff and focused on the photo. So it comes down to whether you think one specific customs employee could potentially see something they don’t like and choose to refuse entry for another reason or that customs is being honest and open about the reason his entry was refused and that the people making the announcement fully understand the situation (including the thoughts of the person that examined the photos).
I feel like the latter is unlikely, but I don’t have enough evidence to say either way. I don’t think drug paraphernalia in a photo or admitting past drug use are good reasons to refuse entry either.
Left yes. Right no.
No, that is actually the vice president of the USA.
I lived in china for 4 years and Winnie has Def never been outlawed. Chinese censorship is much more sophisticated than “hey, that’s illegal.” There’s not a list of pictures or memes or phrases that if you’re caught with you’ll get a visit from the police. No no no. There are hundreds of thousands of people monitoring social media for the latest “subversive” trends. When a new trend develops that content is blacklisted and just not allowed to be spread. You’ll send your friend a picture and it never shows up on their phone. There’s no indication on your end that it didn’t send or they didn’t get it. You can have this content on your phone, the CCP doesn’t care. They care about it spreading. And you’ll never get in trouble for trying to spread it because the system doesn’t allow it to spread.
That’s actually kinda cool in a techno dyatopian kinda way.
I was going to say horrifying.
Trump loves dictators and is trying to emulate them.
No one was ever deported/denied entry to China because they had a Winnie the Pooh image on their phone.
I mean the first person they mention in comparison is Putin who isn’t an Asian
Depends how pedantic you want to be. A large portion of Russian land is in Asia.
Right but it doesn’t make all Russians Asian.
Through conquest and colonial exploits though. That’s like saying Macron is South American because French Guiana exists. Putin was born and raised in St Petersburg; a historically Finnic territory if anything
That’s really not the point
