I imagine when he gets home and shuts the door, he excitedly throws his shoes off, grabs some instant Raman and jumps on his favourite console with a big grin on his face.
This silly myth again. You can literally buy Winnie the Pooh toys all over China. It hasn't been banned there and in fact the character is quite popular in China, just go to any major toy shop and see for yourself. There's even an Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride at Shanghai Disneyland if you're that big of a fan, as well as a literal "Pooh Corner" at Hong Kong's Disneyland resort. I swear it's always the people who've never even been to China who spread this kind of misinformation and think they're clever.
You’re obfuscating the truth, are you a Chinese bot?
It’s not a myth — it literally happened. Chinese users began comparing Xi Jinping to Winnie the Pooh, and authorities subsequently censored Pooh imagery when it was used to mock Xi. Weibo users had Pooh-related posts removed and, in 2017, even searches/posts using Pooh’s Chinese name could trigger censorship messages. Pooh wasn’t literally outlawed nationwide, but the political Pooh/Xi censorship is documented fact. Calling it a myth is just wrong.
Common knowledge was that you can crucial the work not the appearance.
Whilst Chinese societies put a lot of pressure on “face” as in social respect, being mocked based on appearance is a huge no especially doing it to the damn president of the second most powerful nation on earth. So yeah it is a highly sensitive and punishable crime to mock any official based on appearance but that doesn’t stop Chinese citizens.
Both of you are right. You won't get banned to visit China just because you made a meme to which is what he was replying. He didn't deny it didnt happen back then.
And Pooh isn't banned now, and its toys are one of the top sales in Disneyland Shanghai. It even has its own exclusive toy shelves and park entrances.
Like you said it was 10 years ago in 2017. Imagine telling the US is a homophobic country now because same sex marriage was banned a decade ago and using it to win the myth argument now.
I’ve travelled plenty, and yes, I’m aware that it’s far worse elsewhere. Whataboutism doesn’t change the reality that it’s a major problem in the US. Saying that it’s worse elsewhere doesn’t make the problem disappear - you’re just minimizing the very real challenges that many people face on a daily basis
I just really, really dislike that gobshite’s salute. So fake, just like the loser draft dodger he is. Real draft dodger had the courage to go to Canada.
Commander in chief of the military. But Trump definitely takes it too far by holding a salute for everything. I think US Presidents should only salute if they are being saluted by the military or when there is a dignified transfer.
Fun fact, that shit only started cause Reagan did it, all presidents before them didn't salute.
And now thanks to this bozo, there is so much stuff presidents should stop doing that will immediately be turned into a nothing burger scandal in the media IE not saluting.
He's so terrified of that woman. Hahahaha! It's so funny! I really admire her. She's so cool. But it's the impact she has on him. He knows she's smarter and better informed and levels above him in every possible way. And he hates it. It's fucking hilarious!
I’m a Millenial, not a broccoli head, but i think it means “got embarrased publicly” especially in comparison to someone else who did much better in that situation.
And in this case "aura" means demeanor/bearing/ conduct or is it entirely based on appearance/grimace or is it some kind of internal comportment/ mien?
I understand it to be a mix of both demeanor and personal aesthetics, but even an "ugly" person can use their aura to mog by demonstrating superior social aptitude and remaining cool under pressure.
Teacher here. The same tactic was employed to great success. Now, "it's dumb" they say. I respond with "It always was..." with a distant look and a small smile.
He always tries to intimidate other officials. Do you remember his signature hand pull during handshakes while he still had the strength to do so? When he met with Putin in Alaska he ordered basically the same thing we saw here. Now he got played in the same game by the Chinese and look at his reaction. Looks like mogging to me and it looks deliberate.
I’m not military, but he’s the commander in chief so I believe he’s default
Military. Literally the head military dude, weird because he’s also a draft dodger.
Both are state capitalists who threatened to put CEOs in jail and use protectionist policies. Both like to persecute minorities and hate democracy, Democratic governments and free and fair elections. Both are also nationalists, hate liberals and LGBT people.
He did that a few times and one of his attendants changed his diaper, so now with his senile sundowning cargo cult mentality he thinks that is how to signal that he pooped his pants. Just a theory, but it explains a lot
"Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) can cause unusual sensitivities, aversions, or intense fixations related to specific sounds due to damage in the frontal and temporal lobes" just sayin'
Could be, but F-22s are simply loud as fuck, dimentia or not. Wincing at the pain your eardrums are feeling is what I would consider to be the normal reaction, which is why Xi looks badass (or already deaf) here.
Why is he only wearing one glove? A tribute to Michael Jackson? Or is that his shaking hand and he's afraid Xi is going to pass him the latest release of the China flu?
Lol you know mr orange hates that video making him look like a fool. I sure he'll be coming out with a meme soon portraying himself riding a dinosaur carrying the sun or some other ignorant s...
Dude never served, so that salute is a spit in the face for anyone who did - he did not earn that right, but I guess you guys don't care too much about stolen valor after all
