Gotcha, when you can't actually respond to logic when you insult someone, you pivot to using a vaguely racist caricature. Checks out for someone whining about Marxists.
No, I'm pointing out that government oppression of the Chinese population when they criticize the government is still in full swing by showing a recent example.

It's usually non-Chinese people that use the Pooh caricature (huh, wonder why?), and again, that doesn't change that the overwhelming majority of Chinese citizens do support their government. Check the study I linked, public opinion is most closely linked to real material well-being, like Upward Mobility:
There is a good deal of criticism for the CPC, a lot of it is coming from younger generations that want to accelerate the progression of Socialism. This isn't censored, but what is usually censored is when right-wing, Western media tries to propagandize. In reality, things are improving, so more Chinese citizens are satisfied, and take an active role in building up their country.
"Chinese man looks yellow" is not helping your cause
That isn't the point of the meme, dipshit.
Also, Pooh is a brownish orange.
The meme has no context or explanation, I just assumed it was a racist caricature
It was started by a user of a Chinese social network, and was subequently censored in China and became a meme used by those critical of the government. It lives on becuase of how the government of China continues to suppress dissent.
Great job jumping to incorrect conclusions!

So you think you can be racist just because a Chinese person used it first? Do you think you can use the N word because black people use it?
I'm not being racist you fucking donkey.
Are you Gordon Ramsey?
Have you ever actually been friends with someone who lived in China most of their life?
