China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.
Probably the antiracists. You should wonder if you’re on the right side when you are promoting and supporting racism.

The Winnie the Pooh meme about Xi is just racism. I don’t care if you think he’s a dictator.
The Taiwanese use the meme all the time. Obviously not because it looks like Xi in particular and especially because of fragile censoring, but because they like to be racist against themselves. That must be it.
Calling Trump a guinea pig is probably also considered racist in lemmygrad.
Taiwan is where the former Republic of China retreated after being defeated by the People’s Republic of China. The censorship of Xi=Pooh in China isn’t rooted in racism, it’s rooted in the political conflicts between the ROC and PRC. China censors these comparisons because they are used by opponents to attack the government. You don’t have to agree with their methods to understand why they would want to do this. Censoring realistic threats to the ruling government is a common practice in all nations.
The racist aspect originates from how the meme is used in Western circles where there is a long history of racism towards minorities and the enemies of the US as well as a long history of sinophobia.
If your understanding of history, racism, and their opinions of Trump are so shallow, maybe lurking Lemmygrad to learn why users from this instance act so aggressively towards racism and war-mongering propaganda would be helpful.
Not racist at all. It’s against one person. Trump’s face is seen on an orange all the time. No one is calling for racism. He just looks like a damn orange.
So depicting Obama as a monkey in a political cartoon wouldn’t be racist?
So if Obama was depicted as Curious George that’d be cool yeah?
If only Obama was depicted like that, yes.
But it is commonly used to depict black people in general.
While nobody uses Winnie the Pooh to depict Chinese people, only their dictator.
By racists yes.
There’s a big difference here.
Is Trump’s skin naturally orange? Is there a long history of oppressing white people in the US and other NATO countries?
Just because the Winnie the Pooh meme didn’t originate as a racist symbol doesn’t mean that it isn’t used to propagate racism and sinophobia.
We are all one race. Human. You guys trying to claim that you are a different (read: superior) race are the racists.
You can’t just wish the impacts of systemic racism away with good vibes. This is unrealistic and sounds like it comes from a place of privilege that has never experienced the impacts of racism. Biologically, race isn’t real. Socially, it is real and very much has a real impact on people.
I don’t know if your comment was intended to be directed at me? If you think I’m being racist by acknowledging the material impacts of racism and the realistic threat it poses, you may need to read more about racism.
Yeah it was directed at you. You think that Chinese people, who are human, are a superior race that deserves no criticism. Racist as fuck. I come from the only country in the world that even is figuring out how to deal with racism, cause we aren’t from a single ancestral tribe, and we have been forced to actually start figuring it out. As I said, we are humans, and that is where you need to start to make any progress. Stop with your Chinese superiority complex, and learn to take criticism.
Lol, where did I ever say that Chinese people are a superior race or deserve no criticism? You are very mistaken about what my message is. Despite what the first glance at my profile may suggest, I would never say that Mao is beyond criticism either.
