Is Winnie the Pooh Illegal in China?
So, Winnie the Pooh is not illegal in China. Direct comparisons between the President and the Bear are. But, you can still wear a Winnie the Pooh shirt or watch that crappy Christopher Robin movie all you want.

Apple and other companies warn White House about WeChat ban
The WeChat ban is especially problematic for U.S. companies, as it’s an absolutely massive chat app in China, with 1.2 billion global users. For example, if Apple were not able to allow WeChat on the iPhone, it would make iPhones a lot less desirable in China (think how undesirable Huawei phones are right now in the U.S., with Google’s Play store and many other services taken away from them). Furthermore, China could retaliate against U.S. companies, effectively barring them from the lucrative Chinese market.
