In all the years I've been around, both on the internet & among friends and acquaintances from Asia (incl. Taiwan & China), WtP has been a symbol of resistance against Xi Jin Ping and authoritarianism in China.

I know .ml is heavily tankie in general, but just need a double check from the more reasonable parts of the internet.

I could see the yellow fur of Winnie the Pooh being viewed as a reference to Asian people being “yellow” skinned.

However, the likeness of Winnie the Pooh and Xi Jin Ping are so similar in some of the pictures I have seen that I think it’s a more innocent making fun of and not a racism making fun of.
