You just can’t make memes about Xi using Pooh on social media I guess.

Out of curiosity, is there any Chinese source that says that? Or are we just operating off memes we have seen?

I feel like the Taiwanese air force wouldn't bother with these unofficial patches if there weren't at least some truth to it.

A punch in the face for Xi caricature: Taiwan air force badge goes viral

Taiwanese are rushing to buy patches being worn by their air force pilots that depict a Formosan black bear punching Winnie the Pooh - representing China's President Xi Jinping - as a defiant symbol of the island's resistance to Chinese war games.

🤔 Interesting. China Military Calls for Efforts to Repair Image after Scandals

Got any hot takes about this army?

I don't think many people are gonna have "hot takes" based on a vaguely titled article behind a paywall.

Also "scandals" to do with the Chinese military have little to do with someone saying that Taiwanese military badges don't prove anything about the situation in China.
