Literally banning Winnie the Pooh from the entire country and internet because someone said he looked like Pooh when walking with Obama.

Banned pictures of llamas and alpacas because they remind people of mud crabs, which have a name pronounced similarly to "censorship"

Banned any fiction involving time travel and historical fiction because it might show pre-Communist China in a "positive light".

The dude is a comic book despot.

He has an unhealthy love for the cultural revolution and the Mao cult of personality. You'd think after two decades of relaxing censorship and central management, this sort of thing would be considered ass-backwards.

They call him that because they've heard that "dictator" is a mean word that's associated with politics. They likely have no idea what it even means, otherwise they'd know that Trump - while he may be unstable and an asshole - is far from a dictator.

He's still got nothing on the current Kim... who in turn has nothing on the previous Kim.

And yet people think America is some facist communist hellhole

People really need to look overseas at China and the Middle East and take a step back and realize that we need to stop letting them get away with shit instead of throwing hissy fits because of trumps latest dumbass tweet.

trump wishes he was a dictator but he is far too stupid and the states thankfully have a strong system of checks and balances

It's like he read 1984 and went, "This is a great textbook!".

If I remember correctly, there is actually another issue here because of Chinese cultural taboos about ancestors. Anything depicting skeletons is also censored for the same reason. So there might be a connection there, too.

Yeah, that's right. I know MTG got hit with it to.

I was just saying that I know that has something to do with depicting ancestors, due to ancestor veneration being so important to the culture, and that has got to have an effect on censorship of time travel stories.
