It was actually a Chinese internet joke to compare Xi to Winnie the Pooh. Supposedly people had social media accounts frozen for that and Western media outlets spun that into a story about Winnie the Pooh being censored/banned nationwide and if you posted a picture of Winnie the Pooh you would be thrown into the Uyghur death camps. Iirc there were also some Winnie the Pooh films that didn't get released in China?
Anyway, the ride at Disneyland Shanghai still exists so I suppose the evil CCP hasn't found it yet.
A few years ago, I traced the original claim of it being banned to an article in Fortune or Forbes, or one of those sites for a paper magazine. And their reasoning for claiming it was banned is that, while it was still being shared, it wasn't as popular a few days later.
