Winnie the Pooh refers to General Secretary Xi of the PRC. It's a pretty common meme in China and Hong Kong, based on the fact that Xi sort of looks like Winnie the Pooh. He's been cracking down on and censoring those memes. Some English speakers in China and Hong Kong have been referring to Xi as "Winnie the Flu" in reference to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Xi's total lack of transparency and non-response to the initial outbreak in Wuhan.
