I have drawn XiJinPing as a caricature of Winnie the Pooh as popular memes have depicted him as such. I wanted my piece to be simple and get to the point so I depicted him as a monster biting into his honeypot as many believe that he has a iron hold on China as he as done very authoritarian things to his people such as cancelling the ShangHai Pride Parade.

Additionally, I hope you may take some time to learn about your local sanctuary & donate your time, money, or helpful items if you can.
