Remember don’t save a Winnie the Pooh, Xi’s mimic on a device that you bringing with you when you travel to China. Or your organs will be harvested :)
I have sent my Chinese girlfriend memes about Xi for ages, also got blocked by the Chinese embassy on twitter 6 years ago. I recently went to China and literally nothing happened. They don't really care that much, as long as you behave yourself and don't try and cause civil unrest.
Even China wouldn't really get you for this. Maybe at worse, a mild telling off.
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.
