No. One movie didn’t receive screening approval. China limits import for screening of foreign films to 34 a year. I’m not talking Hollywood films, I’m talking all foreign films. The Christoper Robin movie in 2018 didn’t make the cut after it had a disappointing box office and critical reception in Western markets. The IP still remains popular in China because Winnie’s cute.
Yes. The memes associating President Xi with Winnie are banned. You won’t find them on Weibo, for example, where they’ll be likely taken down. Weibo strictly monitors political discourse online and routinely removes content that is aggressively polarising, especially around major political events like the Two Sessions. This is partially at the behest of the government and partially a responsibility towards its userbase.
Some provocative political content is monitored and censored, and we’ve always known that, however, Winnie is not, as you originally said. This is a bald faced orientalist lie and it shows how hollow it is, seeing how quickly you had to abandon it in the face of readily available English language evidence.
oh man limiting foreign media in your country, that totally isn’t censorship or propaganda! definitely not!

Great! Glad we came to the conclusion that China is authoritarian. just you wait, any minute now the US will ban memes about its government… annnny minute now. yep…
“Trade quotas are only evil when non-western countries use them”
“Online moderation of politically divisive and inflammatory material is only authoritarian when non-western countries do it”
I’m sure you were in tears when Jan 6 destroyed American democracy and cheering when the HK parliament was stormed by the same reactionary elements. Head-ass shitlib.
Taking a break from this to eat dinner. I’ll draft something up after that, since, yes, the USA does ban memes. Why do you think r/cth was removed, precipitating us to move to Hexbear? ‘Slaveowners should be killed’ meme is basically about the USA.
G “The USA doesn’t censor online political speech”
R “Yes they do and here’s a directly relevant example to our discussion from the self proclaimed ‘front page of the internet’”
G “Oh you’re just a shit posting community that doesn’t count”
You completely cave from every point in the face of scrutiny. Do you have any shame? You retreat every time and just throw out another glib line. Thanks for the thought dulling discussions mate.
Yeh I know, thanks for the reminder though. I’m keeping in mind the friends following along at home, who may be undecided about this kind of stuff, and trying to put forward a relatively sourced, evidential argument for them, not necessarily goat. I myself was swayed by lurking on forums like this. I’m not nearly as good as other comrades but it’s honest work.

i didn’t care for either of those, not my country, not my concern.
Fact remains, find me the US government banning memes about themselves. You won’t lol

Don’t feed the trolls, they’re just trying to waste your time.
