Oddly enough, there is a Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride at Shanghai Disney, so maybe that whole brouhaha has died down.

Fortunately for China they have an ally in Google, which will help China do their best to keep as much of this hidden as possible from people in China.

That’s been censored to the Ten Thousand Hells and gone. Plenty of younger Chinese folk on the mainland have no idea that anything of any interest ever happened there.

Everyone needs to reach out through their own non-social-media networks and find ways to support the general strike. This could wind up being the biggest blow to China’s totalitarianism in living memory.
Please find ways to both donate resources in support of the protestors, and boost whatever signals they manage to send out past the censorship.

Google is blocked in mainland China, as are Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Chinese search engines like Baidu censor whatever the government tells them to censor.
If you’re thinking of Dragonfly, that was Google’s attempt to get back into the Chinese market.
