I don’t like to see so many political posts in all and so many weird images in comment sections

          No. One movie didn’t receive screening approval. China limits import for screening of foreign films to 34 a year. I’m not talking Hollywood films, I’m talking all foreign films. The Christoper Robin movie in 2018 didn’t make the cut after it had a disappointing box office and critical reception in Western markets. The IP still remains popular in China because Winnie’s cute.

          Yes. The memes associating President Xi with Winnie are banned. You won’t find them on Weibo, for example, where they’ll be likely taken down. Weibo strictly monitors political discourse online and routinely removes content that is aggressively polarising, especially around major political events like the Two Sessions. This is partially at the behest of the government and partially a responsibility towards its userbase.

          Some provocative political content is monitored and censored, and we’ve always known that, however, Winnie is not, as you originally said. This is a bald faced orientalist lie and it shows how hollow it is, seeing how quickly you had to abandon it in the face of readily available English language evidence.

            Yes. The memes associating President Xi with Winnie are banned

              “Trade quotas are only evil when non-western countries use them” “Online moderation of politically divisive and inflammatory material is only authoritarian when non-western countries do it”

              I’m sure you were in tears when Jan 6 destroyed American democracy and cheering when the HK parliament was stormed by the same reactionary elements. Head-ass shitlib.

                i didn’t care for either of those, not my country, not my concern.

                Fact remains, find me the US government banning memes about themselves. You won’t lol

                  Taking a break from this to eat dinner. I’ll draft something up after that, since, yes, the USA does ban memes. Why do you think r/cth was removed, precipitating us to move to Hexbear? ‘Slaveowners should be killed’ meme is basically about the USA.
