US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has denied there is any deeper meaning or jab at China's President Xi Jinping contained in a photo of his dog he tweeted.

But it didn’t take long for social media users to notice that the soft toy front and centre was a well-chewed fluffy Winnie the Pooh bear from the popular children’s books and television series by the same name.

AA Milne's loveable but slow-witted bear with a weakness for honey picked up as a meme after pictures of President Xi Jinping alongside slender former US president Barack Obama, who drew comparisons to Winnie's friend Tigger, were published. Mr Pompeo has championed a hard line against China, criticising the communist leadership for denying free expression, clamping down in Hong Kong and failing to stop the coronavirus pandemic.

"No, I imagine there were a series of stuffed animals, and they were equally distributed for Mercer's benefit," Mr Pompeo told Iowa conservative radio host Simon Conway.

This is deep. I am sure Internet in China will run overtime to cencor Winnie the Pooh

I wonder if China will complain about this, doing so would admit that Xi looks like Pooh 🤔🤔🤔

The world needs to know the truth about the CCP virus.

I don't fuckin care about any clarify! I do like to associate Winnie the Pooh with Xi Jinping!

Denived just for diplomatic polite, the vast majority of people who see the State Council of Tsing of the Chinese people know that the Venic bear is the meaning of the Xi

YOU MEDIA should focus on the MORE IMPORTANT NEWS!

Either way, trolling or not, it reveals his ignorance

It's both 'I see what you did there!' and plausible deniability!

It's a safe bet to that Pompeo will be working for the Chinese in less than 2 years.

Clifftop toilet plan poo-poohed by opponents as a stinker of an ideaA Tasmanian council is pushing ahead with a plan to build a 'loo with a view' overhanging a spectacular coastline in an effort to draw tourists — but not everyone is sold, with one councillor saying she does not want the area to become 'famous for a toilet'. cc de_willis 🙃 timely. I hope it uses smart pipe technology As an occasional road-tripper can I just say that exceptional public toilets are as much a drawcard as any tourist attraction. And there are very few good ones out there.
