        I don’t know if this is what they’re talking about, but pretty much the entirety of the Chinese government elite is made up of Han Chinese despite there being a bunch of other ethnic groups. And, of course, there’s the ethnic groups that the Chinese government severely oppresses within their borders like the Uyghurs and the Tibetans.

          How does Pooh Bear relate to the Han people?

          The only time I hear the racism card pulled about Pooh is when it’s coming from the party line. There is a history of that being used by the government or those parroting party talking points. It’s the logic they initially used to get the references pulled internationally where they don’t have as much control of media.

          I stand with the Uyghur and Tibetan people. The complex in Xiajang needs to be internationally condemned until it is demolished and a monument erected in the memory of those interned there, sometimes until the end of their lives.

            Hmm… how does the Han Chinese dictator of China relate to the ethnonationalist policies of the Chinese government, which promotes the Han over other ethnic groups and outright oppresses other ethnic groups…

            You know, I’ll have to ponder that for a while and get back to you on it because you’re right, I just don’t see a direct line.

              You still haven’t referenced Pooh Bear. I share your confusion.

                Sorry… your issue here is that there is not a direct link between A. A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh character and a Chinese ethnonationalist state?

                  TLDR: Squid, again, you’re arguing my point. I do not support Xi or the attribution of racism when I call him Pooh Bear. That’s offensive…to racists.

                  I think you might want to read @[email protected] 's original comment to me that i’m responding to.

                  Ignoring the racism…yes, China has been very clear they don’t wish to use their military

                  I’m asking them to clarify the point how Pooh Bear is directly racist against the Han people and not just a derogatory term directed squarely at Xi Jinping.

                  I am fully aware of China’s ethnographic makeup and policies, especially those of a certain Han Dynasty way back when. But here’s the article I posted to them and now I post to you.

                    I honestly have no idea what your point is. I’ve tried to get you to clarify more than once, but you won’t. You seem to be the only one talking about Winnie the Pooh. The rest of us are talking about China’s policy with regards to Taiwan.

                    Maybe get off this Winnie the Pooh thing and discuss what everyone else is discussing.
