idk if the ā€œlieā€ claim is the best language they could have used since there seems to be a few sources supporting it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_Winnie-the-Pooh_in_China

that said, obligatory fuck tankies but this is a good meme and fuck ICE.

EDIT CONTEXT: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/06/25/norwegian-tourist-jd-vance-meme/

ICE and CBP claim the guy was denied entry for drug use. I donā€™t fucking believe them personally after stories like Khaby Lame essentially being forced to self-deport after some racist MAGA kid decided personally getting him deported was a good move.

But u know we all about honesty in this joint so

    Wouldnā€™t suprise me. Due to the meme status it would be usage has to be used more as a symbol for making fun of the goverment and so on, than fans for the books and series.

    Still, itā€™s not illegal. The twitter post is miss-representing the popular line, i have rarley seen any banned claims and far moee on the cencuring line. On a similar note i donā€™t see a lot of defending of the policy either, so i donā€™t get what that is about.

      It is technically illegal too and all Chinese know not to fuck with censor machine if they want any career in their future as at any point CCP goons can come with all of the evidence and start throwing shitbat you getting you fired or worse. Itā€™s not some secret either.
