Censorship of Winnie-the-Pooh in China
Beginning in July 2017, the government of the People's Republic of China censored satirical memes comparing Xi Jinping, the general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), to the anthropomorphic teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh, particularly Disney's depiction. The CCP reportedly viewed such comparisons as ridicule and symbolic dissent. However, there is no comprehensive prohibition on content related to the character and other images of the character can be readily found on the Internet in China; books and merchandise remain available, and two Winnie-the-Pooh-themed attractions continue to operate at Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disneyland.
