Xi's gonna visit me personally? I better start getting some tea ready.

~~Better have some honey to put in that tea or he's gonna be bothered...~~

Edit: didn't realize this was viewed as racist and thought it was just a funny example of the Streisand effect. I deeply apologize to anybody who I offended.

(leaving it crossed out so that anyone who shared my same lack of knowledge could be warned before making the same mistake)

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.

Libs claim China is authoritarian, but Lei Ming from the Ministry of State Security is asking you to surrender your authority to them, implying they have a shortage of authority, and thus cannot be authoritarian! Curious!

wear your best cologne to the date

You should ask Xi to sign my copy of state and revolution!

FORWARD THIS TO TEN CHINESE PATRIOTS OR YOU WILL BE CURSED

Ask at what time you should expect him and if Xi signs autographs

[โ€“] GeorgeZBush@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Send a picture of Winnie the pooh to epically own Xi

[โ€“] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Better submit. That sounds legit.

Looks like you need to drop everything and read the governance of china really fast
