Mocking Xi Jinping with Winnie the Pooh Costume on #Halloween;
Hongkongers in #US: We Shall Stand up to China Despite Fear for National Security Law
'Project Black Mask HK', an organization of American Hongkongers, donned #WinniethePooh costumes for Halloween to mock Chinese communist leader Xi Jinping.
About a dozen people assembled and dressed up as Winnie the Pooh to raise awareness for China's racial oppression, as well as to express support for Hongkongers, Kazakhs, and Uyghurs.
The participants waved flags that read 'Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times' and 'Glory to Hong Kong', and chanted slogans such as 'Stand with Hong Kong'. Representatives of minority groups gave speeches describing the oppression they faced in China.
A Hongkonger who attended the assembly admitted that Hong Kong's National Security Law still worried him even he was now in the US. Despite the chilling effect of the law, he felt obliged to stand up to the oppression, saying, 'Liking posts behind the keyboard is not enough.'

Sapientia - Exhibition of the protests (Part 2)
A Mask of Xi Jinping
This cut out mask was used at a human chain demonstration against the amendments to the Extradition Bill and the Anti-mask Law. Wearing the mask is one of the creative responses to protest against the Anti-mask Law. While protesters urged for the “five demands”, Chief Executive Carrie Lam invoked the colonial-era Emergency Regulations Ordinance in October 2019 to ban the wearing of masks at assemblies. It is common amongst protesters to wear face coverings as it helps protesters to filter out tear gas shot by the police and to remain anonymous in this leaderless, faceless movement.
The Anti-mask Law, created to stop the protests, resulted in more intense social unrest afterwards.
“I wasn’t going to eat it, I was just going to taste it.”

Pooh-Pooh, not Winnie: Chinese Media Avoid #Xi Satire
In Shanghai #Disneyland, a little boy attacked a worker in #WinniethePooh costume. However, the parents of the boy has been impertinent and refused to apologise to the worker.
The video went viral on the #ChineseInternet, but it seems “Winnie the Pooh” is a bigger problem to China's media than violence or parenting, as they use “Pooh-pooh bear” instead in reporting the news.
[Editor's note: the cartoon figure Winnie the Pooh has been used as a satirical representation to the #CCP General Secretary #XiJinping and was thereby banned in China for a period of time.]
