Chinese censors have banned a picture of Winnie the Pooh and his friend Tigger.

The censors did not like the fact that the cell from a Disney cartoon was attached to the photo of Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Barack Obama taking a walk during a recent bilateral summit in California.

Collage captures the remarkable similarity of the two leaders with cartoon characters – not just the same poses, but also identical facial expressions.

Chinese Internet regulators did not like the striking similarity between the President of China and a chubby bear from the British fairy tale.

The two-day summit took place in California, and was Obama’s first encounter with Jinping after he became new President of the People’s Republic of China.
