First of all, the plaque is kind of funny. I don't think it is racist.

You would think by the tone of the article, that the medallion was posted somewhere in Communist China. Why make such a big deal of this if we are living in a free country? The author of this article thinks it should be illegal to make fun of a Chinese dictator.

If I lived in China, or was visiting in China, I would be very careful not to be caught posting one of these cute medallions.

Can’t be racist if it’s true

Perhaps Vice will prefer Xi the Pooh?

They aren’t being put up in China.

I personally think offending the easily offended is a good thing.

The Left is made up of Godless people who worship the idol of racism.

China is a thug country not a race. Lots of Chinese not in that country. For one example, Taiwan.

Wouldn’t this medallion artwork make a nice t-shirt? If I submitted the artwork, would one of the vendors in China would make them?

The bigger issue is that the police seem to think it is their job to investigate an exercise in First Amendment protected speech.

"Can’t be racist if it’s true."

Is there a race called Chinese?

Winnie the Pooh is BANNED in China because one of Xi critics said he looked like Winnie the Pooh. So it is making fun of Xi on many levels...it is not directed at China, but SQUARELY at President Xi. Funny AF!

Wouldn’t the posting of one of these medallions be an act of free speech? It would be hard to damage property by posting one. What is the harm?

You can always buy tee shirt iron on kits you can print on an ink jet.

I’m sure the media and the Social Justice Warriors will think this is a more serious problem than the Corona Virus itself.

Xi does indeed favor Winnie the Pooh!
