    I mean, this headline seems open and shut.

    Economist made a mistake, he should have learned to adjust the numbers for whatever Emperor Pooh expects.

    At least it’s a teaching moment for the rest of China’s economists.

      Comparing Xi to a yellow cartoon character is racist and we shouldnt be doing it. If you think someone is evil, why are you comparing them to a loveable bear anyway? I’ve never understood that.

    On one hand, he could be languishing in a labor camp or other unpleasant fate.

    On the other hand, he may only be reassigned to Antarctica or the equivalent posting for the great crime of criticizing Great Leader Pooh Bear.

    How could that be. I read on Lemmy that China is the only working democracy and authoritarianism isn’t a problem

    He’s completely fine folks. Nothing to see here. Just a regular ol’ complete ban on all social media services and a sprinkle of societal isolation. Just to teach him some manners of course.
