      People say the Winnie thing is racist, but I never thought Chinese people look like Winnie. Xi looks like Winnie. Chinese people think he looks like Winnie.

      I think the racism thing is made up by his supporters.

        The original comparison to Winnie the Pooh was from Chinese social media and was arguably an affectionate joke. Xi didn’t like it and it became a meme for his critics due to its censorship. (This is from what I’ve read previously and double-checking just now)

        Edit - one of the original comparison images that started this meme:
        Image of Xi & Obama next to an image of Pooh and Tiger

    Xi should become a legend and purge himself from the party for corruption.

    Xi can rest for a bit. All the world’s spotlights are on that orange money/sex guy right now.
