Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Can you draw the chinese leader as Winnie the pooh in China without repercussions? I can do it to my leader where I'm at.

Can you find me a person in China who will tell you that's true or did you pick that up from memes of people posting Winnie the Pooh xi?
