That’s the best explanation of the meme I’ve ever heard. I wish the CCP could wrap their heads around the concept that actually explaining things this way to their citizens instead of just brutally repressing them is a real alternative. The again it’s not like their response is not a universal human trait of all societies (sigh).

Then they'd still have to explain how running over students with tanks is "respectful dialog".

There wasn't a honey farm involved, though. It started with a picture of Xi and Obama likened to a picture of Tigger and Pooh, and then the comparisons just kept coming.
The part about it being seen by the CCP as mockery and disrespectful to Xi is spot on, though. There's also a secondary issue at play, where activists and dissidents will use proxies to refer to the primary subject matter to attempt to evade censors.
