Every week there's at least one weird story to come from the gaming industry and this has to be one of the strangest at its surface level. It's hard to imagine that an entire country such as China would have a problem with a bear whose only real problem is that he has no real problems, but when you look a little deeper into Chinese President Xi Jinping and his relationship with the honey eating bear, this strange headline begins to make more sense.

Yep, some leaders seem to see things that aren't there.
Here is another one:
Communists caused the producers of the childrens show Pat & Mat to have Mat's shirt made grey instead of red, because they thought it was to made fun of communists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_%26_Mat#Controversies [wikipedia.org]

This just REEKS of credibility.

It is not about Ji seeing things that are not there. On the Chinese net it became a meme to compare Ji to Pooh and it was catching on enough that the government felt they needed to crack down to maintain Ji's image.
