my understanding is that China's population is largely satisfied with their government, and I can understand that since I've seen nothing but endless improvements year over year for the last ten years now, despite constant "china's about to collapse" and other actually insane propaganda about China so yeah pardon me for thinking you should back up your claim that "calling xi jinping winnie the poo is huge in china (even though the GOVERNMENT will KILL YOU FOR IT)"
how many citizens in how many countries do you know readily mock their leaders when shit is going good, and what would you think would motivate them to do so?
I'm not talking "shit is going good" like in America for the last XX years where "the economy" is "doing well" but wages are stagnant and costs for basic goods and services inflate exponentially year over year, I'm talking "the government planned on insane infrastructure investments that would take 5 years but actually got it done in 3, now you can go across the country in 4 hours on a high speed train, 90%+ of the country owns a home, and wages and real benefits are increasing exponentially at the same pace you see their depreciation in western countries"
which like no fucking shit, they actually plan for the future (which western countries have literally used as propaganda i.e. 15 years ago the "ghost city" bullshit where they alleged China built fake cities to juice their GDP. Surprise 10 years later people fucking live in them!) and aren't beholden to the golden principle of "nothing can happen unless it makes the already ultra rich ultra richer"
anyway, going back to you backing up your claim that "it seems huge" in China to "mock Xi Jinping" as being Winnie the Pooh, yeah, you wanna do that? Or are you just a bloviating piece of shit shit-lib two steps away from becoming a fascist?
Every single anarchist.
