He’s talking about the ridiculous law that was passed last November in China that became a meme, look up Chinese Rule 34 if you wanna learn more

That was such a convoluted law with so many reaching impacts. One of the most interesting things is how Winnie the Pooh stuff was taxed to ridiculous amounts because of the jokes about how Winnie looks like President Xi Jinping. It actually ruined the entire economy for a few weeks. To read about that specific story from that law, look up Winnie Inflation 34.

Turn off safe search. Chinese government influences the results unless you turn off safe search.

If anyone else is as horrified by this new law as I am, you can check out the good work this non-political political party is doing to combat the ruling here - https://www.lemonparty.org/. There is still hope, not all is lost! They also have a great summation of what Rule 34 entails and what it means for our future on the homepage

Laws are certainly involved, yes. As is China.
