In the midst of this awareness, I found that patches depicting Winnie the Pooh are suddenly gaining popularity. The patch depicts a Taiwanese black bear that lives in Taiwan, holding the Taiwanese flag and beating Winnie the Pooh.

The Taiwanese Air Force told Reuters it 'does not specifically encourage the wearing of patches that are not part of the uniform, but remains open to anything that boosts morale.'
The Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States (the de facto Taiwanese embassy in the United States) saw this patch and tweeted, ``Where can I get it?
