There is an internet censorship system called ' Great Firewall ' in China, which blocks information that is inconvenient for the government. For example, ' Tiananmen Square Incident ,' ' Multi-Party System ,' and ' Taiwan Problem ,' one of which includes 'Winnie the Pooh' for some reason.

This is due to the fact that President Xi Jinping resembles Pooh. In 2014, it was reported on China's microblogging Weibo that images of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and President Xi likened to Eyo and Pooh were talked about.



Similarly, images have been made that President Xi and President Obama look like Pooh and Tigger. Both were originally created by Chinese internet users.



This 'President Xi = Pooh' story was taken up by John Oliver's program ' Last Week Tonight ,' which introduces the news of the week in a light talk. It was during the 20-minute touch on President Xi at the hot topic introduction corner in the program.

As a result, the connection from China to the HBO site that distributes the program was cut off, and when trying to post including words such as 'John Oliver' and 'Last Week Tonight' on SNS such as Weibo, ' The content contains information that violates related laws and regulations. '

You can see how Oliver actually dealt with President Xi's topic in the video delivered on YouTube's official program channel.

This time, 'Mr. Oliver talked about China.



Taking up Mr. Trump's radical remarks such as 'China kills us!' And 'China is raping the country!', He explains the threat that Mr. Trump poses to China.



In explaining China, I also mentioned Mr. Xi Jinping, who has great power as the president of the nation.



'Mr. Xi Jinping grew up in a rural area because his father was persecuted by the Cultural Revolution,' was widely mentioned in China ...



The news that 'Mr. Xi Jinping ate a common meal' has attracted so much attention.



China's economic growth never stops ...



'The optimistic thoughts of the Chinese people about the future are astounding for the British, whose dictionary says'optimistic = no such thing',' joked Oliver. I will explain about Mr. Xi Jinping and China.



Mr. Oliver was talking while making a series of terrible jokes, but finally he will play a VTR that likens Mr. Xi Jinping to 'Winnie the Pooh' during the talk.



'Maybe Xi Jinping really cares about being compared to Winnie the Pooh,' Oliver said with a laugh.



Mr. Oliver continued, 'If Mr. Xi

Jinping resembles Winnie the Pooh, is this the one that resembles me?' ..



Looking at the actual video, what was blocked was not that Mr. Oliver touched on the story that 'President Xi resembles Pooh', but rather that it was a story that made President Xi a story as a whole. I feel that it was because it was.

In addition, HBO and Mr. Oliver have criticized 'connection blocking' and 'write protection measures on SNS' by the Chinese authorities, but since HBO contents are not distributed in mainland China, this measure He says he wasn't financially hit.
