winnie the pooh
The lovable bear has emerged as a symbol of resistance in China against President Xi Jinping.
It's time to go back to the Hundred Acre Wood.
"Well -- at least I'll never have to deal with that loud orange lunatic ever again."
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The beloved character has reportedly been blocked from some Chinese social media sites. While no official reason for the censorship has been given, the block came after lighthearted comparisons between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Pooh began to surface online.
Winnie the Pooh has reportedly been banned from Chinese social media.
His name is Penguin. And he's being drawn in the style of original "Pooh" illustrator E. H. Shepard.
The original toys, owned by the real-life Christopher Robin, look better than ever.
This idea is as sweet as honey.
