Chinese censors have also targeted the film’s main character in the past because of messages on social media comparing the tripping teddy bear to President Xi Jinping. However, the explanation was that the screening of the new horror film “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” was canceled in Hong Kong for technical reasons, according to Sky News.
The cancellation was announced on social networks, but the organizers of the event did not comment on the decision. Ticket sales have also been suspended.
Comparisons between the bear in the movie series and the Chinese president began in 2013, when Xi visited the US. Later, dissidents used the comparison to promote their messages against communist power
Other films have also been banned from airing in China under a censorship law that took effect in 2021. The law bans films that “endorse, support, glorify, encourage and incite activities that could endanger national security” “.
