Чому Сі Цзіньпіна порівнюють з Вінні
The comparison between Xi Jinping, President of China and CCP General Secretary, and Winnie the Pooh originated from online memes highlighting a perceived physical resemblance.
This satirical comparison became popular among internet users.
Origin of the Meme
The first widely shared comparison appeared in 2013, juxtaposing a photo of Xi Jinping with then US President Barack Obama alongside an image of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. This initial visual humor quickly evolved into a broader satirical symbol against the Chinese leader.
Government Censorship
The Chinese government has since heavily censored references to Winnie the Pooh in relation to Xi Jinping. This censorship reflects the authorities' sensitivity to anything perceived as mocking the leader and underscores the robust control over information within China, where President Xi maintains a current influence score of 100/100.
