A picture that compares U.S. president Barak Obama and Chinese leader Xi Jinping with Disney’s cartoon characters Winnie the Pooh and Tigger went viral on the Chinese microblog Sina Weibo, British media reported on Wednesday.
The picture showing the leaders posing perfectly in sync with the animated characters was initially uploaded by a user and gained huge attention online as influential Chinese bloggers shared it.
But the website removed the picture for its “inappropriateness to go public.” It has not yet been confirmed whether the Chinese government intervened, media said.
The initial uploader then left the comment: “Weibo lacks magnanimity and a sense of humor.”
Obama and Xi had an informal summit talk from June 7 for two days at Sunnylands in southern California.
