More recently, the movie Christopher Robin was banned in China. According to The Hollywood Reporter, no official reason was given but a source claimed it was due to the Pooh comparisons.

Other Chinese game sites ran images of the character (screenshot below), so it seems like A9VG was being on the more cautious side for social media.

Other sites, however, did not include any images of the character.

A Chinese language version of Kingdom Hearts III is in development. It’s not yet known whether or not Winnie the Pooh will appear in the game or not.
