A nickname for Chinese Leader Xi Jinping, coming from a serious of images comparing Xi with Winnie the Pooh. Harmless enough, but it seems that it Xi didn't like it. In fact, it bothered him so much that he banned the character from China completely. Too bad that such actions is guaranteed to cause a Streisand Effect to the point where Winnie the Pooh is one of Xi's nicknames, especially used by Anti-CCP persons, much to Xi's extreme displeasure.
Nowadays, whenever you use Winnie the Pooh in the context of Chinese Politics, you really meant Xi Jinping.
I think of Winnie, not only as the loveable Pooh character, but as the bear that had to be left at a zoo when his Canadian human was conscripted to fight in one of the World Wars, and subsequently died... a sad, yet noble story. Maybe Xi can see the nobility in it, instead.

Oh. I didn’t know that. Thank you very much.
