Not bearing the Bear
The new Disney film Christopher Robin has been banned in China. Chinese censors began blocking pictures of Pooh Bear, the essential star in the Disney film, after their country's social media circulated this picture:
Juxtaposing Xi Jingping standing in his presidential limousine and Pooh in his toy car forced the censors into action. They reacted badly too when President Xi as Pooh was depicted with Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as Eeyore
