Well, I on the other hand have a friend from China who casually started explaining me how her boyfriend went to a Chinese jail for 2 weeks after sending a Winnie-the-Pooh meme onto a private WeChat group, acting like it’s not that big of a deal

Problem was he sent it in a WeChat group. Although that's different, as he wasn't a foreigner. This article is about foreigners and a dude who had a meme saved on his phone.
