It is not something new that a famous person gets lost in one or another country. But the fact that you go to an animated character may seem like a joke.

However it just happened. The cute and cute Disney bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, is prohibited from entering China. Even on the internet.

According to the Financial Times, the beloved icon of children has been blacklisted in China after the comparisons that have been generated between him and - read this well - the President of China!

Apparently, memes in which parodies are made between the bear who never wears pants and President Xi Jinping made the government angry. Now, whoever tries to search for the Winnie-the-Pooh image through the network, comes across a message stating that this site cannot be accessed due to having "illegal" content. {®xå½Ý ÷ MßkvÞõݹçÝ; á§zóŸ ^ ãw_i®õ

Although these jokes began to emerge as of 2013, the Chinese regime had not taken them seriously until now, when they have apparently taken an offensive character, leading them to ban "Winnie" from Sina Weibo, a similar social media platform. to Twitter. A collection of gifts of this character was even removed from the social messaging service WeChat.

The veto has reached the point that even WeChat, similar to WhatsApp, has completely suppressed the images they had of the yellow bear.

The famous character created by AA Milne in Great Britain at the beginning of the last century, from which Disney bought the license in 1966, is characterized by being good-natured, friendly and a lover of honey jars.

Until before the Chinese government blacklisted him, the sweet bear had been considered by the world as a completely harmless cartoon.
