Because there was this famous photo of Obama and Xi walking together. Some clever Chinese person put the photo on top, and a picture of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger walking together on the bottom, and it was a dead ringer for the pair.

I think you are misunderstanding the argument and changing the subject. I’m saying kanji isn’t used to refer to Chinese characters. Moreover, that Japanese characters and Chinese characters are different. They can’t read each other’s languages. There are some cognates but that’s it.

Could you present some evidence that Chinese characters are called kanji?

He did a couple of really ugly racist films. They haven’t aged well. You know that scene in “Dumbo” where the black people are portrayed as crows? Because, you know, Jim Crow? Imagine an entire movie like that. :stalin-gun-1:
