https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/08/asia/winnie-the-pooh-taiwan-intl/index.html (CNN)Taiwan's government has mocked Beijing over rumors a new film featuring Winnie the Pooh has been banned in mainland China, due to comparisons between the yellow bear and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
On its official Twitter account, Taiwan's Foreign Ministry posted an image of their tourism mascot Oh! Bear, saying he was dismayed "his cousin Winnie's" film had been "banned" by Chinese authorities.
"Make no mistake: All bears are created equal in Taiwan and "Christopher Robin" is screening nationwide," the ministry said.
