      I feel like the Taiwanese air force wouldn’t bother with these unofficial patches if there weren’t at least some truth to it.

      A punch in the face for Xi caricature: Taiwan air force badge goes viral

      Taiwanese are rushing to buy patches being worn by their air force pilots that depict a Formosan black bear punching Winnie the Pooh - representing China’s President Xi Jinping - as a defiant symbol of the island’s resistance to Chinese war games.

        Well you are foolish if you really think this proves anything. There is a long history of anti-China movements catering to the west for sympathy, as that’s their main backer. Protest signs in English and this are just part of an appeal to the west.

        All this proves is that they have heard the same stupid memes you have.

          I thought about asking how would state controlled media be able to publish anything about an image if it’s banned. Then I figured that’s pretty obvious, and didn’t want to ruffle any feathers. Should have known better than to try and go against the narrative. My bad.

                Would be my reaction too if I wouldn’t be able to corroborate claims. Did you know the Ukrainians claim to be winning the war? So do the Russians.I wonder who’s right?

                    I see you’re not smart enough to recognize a rhetorical question and choose to use it as a deflection from not being able to corroborate your ridiculous claim that you can’t post winnie the poh on chinese social media. Basically I was trying to highlight that anyone can claim anything it’s why @[email protected] is right in asking for your homework libshit

            Brother. You must say something is banned for it to be banned. You can’t just vibe ban something. You have to tell people “hey, stop doing this”. Where is that message

        I don’t see the logic in this sentence. What makes those soldiers a more reliable source than you or me? Taiwanese people read memes too.
