The opposite imo, it would have caught on but I think it would generally have been seen as positive. I mean, Pooh is a nice guy, tries his best to help his friends, what’s not to like? He even has a red shirt, totally on brand right out of the box.
Here the president is Mr Grey. He doesn’t do silly things; he has no quirky elements; he makes no mistakes and that is why he is above the population and unable to be questioned.

The previous Chinese Leader Hu Jintao had a catchphrase of “promoting a harmonious society” or, in Chinese, hexie 和谐.
Bloggers started to refer to being censored as having been “harmonised” - bei hexie le 被和谐了 - but, by changing the tones in Chinese or changing the characters, you can fudge the meaning. So another hexie is river crab 河蟹。In other words, when you see an image of a river crab on the internet in China, it is likely to be a reference to something having been censored.

Complete own-goal trying to suppress it.
