Censorship of Winnie-the-Pooh in China participant Xi Jinping
Beginning in July 2017, the Chinese government censored imagery of the anthropomorphic teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh, particularly Disney's version of the character. The censorship is believed to be a result of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) general secretary Xi Jinping being compared to the character in Internet memes, which the Chinese government saw as a disrespectful mockery of the leader of its country.
