Just curious, where did you get these ideas?

Dimsum Daily is not exactly a good source for reliable news...

There is indeed quite a lot of violence from both sides, but no, no police officer has been set on fire.

The ban was a long time ago, in 2017. https://www.hk01.com/中國/105476/太像習近平-小熊維尼-慘遭-河蟹 Of course you wouldn't have problem about it now. Yes, there are a lot of stupid claims a out China in the western press, but there are easily equally, if not more, absurd claims about USA in China too. Same for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, so on and so forth. BTW, maybe try 8964 八九六四 and see what you get.

The link you provided says the phrase "Winnie the Pooh" couldn't be posted on Weibo/WeChat at that time, with a screenshot not supporting that claim, but rather showing a sticker pack of Winnie the Pooh no long being available. Assuming that was truthful (I wouldn't be so sure because HK news about Mainland China can be as exaggerated as Western news, sometimes more because the stake's higher) that's still pretty far…

What do you expect then?

A news report within the PRC that "Winnie the Pooh" was banned?

Reports from Hong Kong and Taiwan is the closest thing you can get.

May I know your sources for further study?

Pretty good book (also in describing Cultural Revolution) even if little, little biased. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao:_The_Unknown_Story

Thanks, sometimes it doesn't hurt to have some more perspective.

The only way to claim "no police officer has been set on fire" is providing evidences that those pictures and videos are fake. Btw, there's no such thing as "source of reliable news", unbiased media is a impossibility theory.

Calling a liar a liar is better use of time and energy than tirelessly repeating facts ad nauseam.

I know we all have an impulse to take the easy path. But please think about what if you happen to be wrong, how a person would feel if he’s labeled a liar/paid troll for having an account that looks suspicious to some, and what meaningful discussion we can have if we just call each other liars?

2nd order lies are still lies.
