Comparisons between the cartoon character and Xi Jinping date back to 2013, when the Chinese leader visited Barack Obama in the United States. An image of the two leaders walking was immediately compared to that of the bear and his friend Tigger.
A meme with Chinese president as Yellow Winnie + American president(of Kenyan/African descent) as Brown Tigger does have racist connotations, right?
Wouldn't ignoring that be similar to those who say that 'The woke left is trying to censor Musk because he raised his hand in joy' and that that it is against freedom of expression and authoritarian?
And arguing?
This whole post is Chinese propaganda and they’re astroturfing it.
And would your comment and similar comments be termed as anti-Chinese propaganda and astroturfing?
Totally not racist?
Btw, what does Tigger rhyme with, my fellow Ningen?
Censorship of memes is not fun as a person who likes memes, but considering how they lifted millions of their people out of poverty very quickly, a ban on a racist meme is ok.

Banning racist memes is not a big issue.

Tanks stopping when a person blocked their path? And remaining calm even when the person climbs over the tank? Finally the tank driver talking with person calmly?
Their army or atleast the tank driver seems to be very decent.
As an Indian, I think they seem more well-planned and more decent than recent USAmerica.
India and China does have border issues, but I do respect them as I agree with their leftist view of reducing poverty and improving literacy. I think our countries could come to decent compromise there.
Also, the communism aspects.
But saying that a single country is the future is too simple.
And even the Chinese seem to be not emulating America to be an empire.
I think their aim is a multi-polar world. Atleast if the random yt vids I saw are proper representations.
I'm not USAmerican, but from my knowledge, I think here are two reasons
Geographic location
When EurAsia saw great destruction in the WW's they were far away and safe. So they could benefit from arms sales and similar stuff. Also got some experts and researchers fleeing from EurAsia, who helped in their development.
Decline of traditional colonialism opening opportunities for them
Coups and takeover of places which where colonialism and other empires were in retreat.
The power from the 1st point helped here.
Other stuff like the exploitation and murder of natives and slavery helped them set the base for these two points
