Oh I get it! The Chinese guy looks like the yellow cartoon animal!
I didn't even know racists were still using the Asian=yellow thing, thanks for keeping me informed!
I'm a bit confused honestly. Yellow? I thought it was general characteristics of him in particular. I don't even think of Pooh as being bright yellow. I just remember him banning all mentions of him looking like Pooh and causing the Streisand effect. If it's viewed as racist I apologize, I have nothing against Chinese people just Xi Jinping's censorship of information.
You can buy Winnie The Pooh merchandise at Shanghai Disneyland.
The only concrete thing the Chinese government has done against the Pooh is not importing Christopher Robin (2018), but they only import 34 western movies a year (mostly for trade protectionism reasons), and the movie was a flop.
