Damn. While I get the position of the Taiwanese, I sometimes wish they'd send more middle fingers at the mainland. "yeah, xi jinping is a dumpling, fuckm, we apologise for nothing."
As if Taiwan is an existential threat to prc by hurling insults as dramatic as "Winnie the Pooh" across the strait. Just seems like more bullying to me.

It's definitely bullying but it's also definitely a predictable response from the PRC given the current political climate.

Streisand effect in the making?

So if mainlanders' feeling are hurt, it's fine to totally ignore their feelings, just because they are from mainland China? Does this count as racism at all? Or it still counts as mainlanders are not applicable to most usual social rules?

Both Chinese and Taiwanese are the same race, so how is this racism?

There are many (mobile) games those are released base on regional, so if it's locked for CN (or Asia in general) you'll need to sideload the games into your phones but it's risky to do it.

I don't think so.
People know Taiwan != China. The censorship is a projection of power, not hiding a secret.
Nobody calling the king fat because he cuts off heads doesn't change the fact that everybody can see he is indeed overweight.

#9It's always a little disturbing to see speech like calling a political leader “Winnie the Pooh” get such a response.
