IMO in this particular post, I was simply providing direct evidence refuting the claim that Winnie the Pooh is banned in China and not engaging in a nationalistic flamewar.

I can point out many examples of nationalistic, flamewar-instigating posts in this thread (such as the top comment) far more deserving (again, IMO) of reprimand than my little comment.

For instance:

Some flagged/dead but egregiously bad comments:

Obviously you can’t comment on them all, but I feel slightly targeted for my relatively benign remarks when there are much lower hanging fruit.

Regardless, I respect your judgement and the moderation that you do here, so i’ll do my best to refrain from directly responding to propagandistic lies and disinformation.

American viewership of the Golden Globe awards sank to a new record low this year (likely the same will hold true of the Oscars) [1].

What percentage of Chinese mainlanders do you think watch American awards shows?

Look at the primary sources which they cite.

There are a few examples with primary sources outlined here:
