> Criticize the US President all you like on every social network: not a problem.
given that this [1] already happened in my country, and also this [2] also happened (just to name a couple) and nobody paid, that there are 13,000 American soldiers on my Country's soil and that this [3] man has been POTUS and is probably running again for election, I wouldn't say "not a problem".
US could reach me at my house if they wanted to, OTOH PRC can't do much.

> Save a screenshot of Winnie the Pooh: you're playing with fire.
I imagine this is sarcasm.
Winnie the Pooh has never actually put anyone in real troubles.
Here's an example of a chinese Univerity of Minnesota grad student that tweeted Winnie the Pooh (among other things) while in the US, and was later imprisoned in China for it:

a Chinese student.
I don't support China methods, but mocking the president of your country in public, from abroad, when you know what your Country is is capable of is not a smart move, ever.
It happens everywhere, different solutions, same goal: censorship and setting an example.

In China, Winnie the Pooh is illegal, because the dictator looks similar.
