It's painful to see, all this effort going down the drain.
Honestly its not even effort wasted, it is effort provided to help my (and others) cause with more neutral fence-sitters on various issues w.r.t CCP (who all have natural aversion to cringe that can be utilised).

You see, push comes to shove, there are folks and larger societies that understand underlying importance of disciplines like Aikido, Judo etc and the deeper local philosophy that comes from (a more particular form to their own culture/nation w.r.t debate and argument).
i.e How opponent energy can be harnessed and used.
There arealso inevitably ones that do not understand this and always get stuck in idle brittle (punch blindly in same direction because you feel big enough) mode...because mental faculties are just hardwired that way due to number of reasons I won't go into here.
Suffice to say they are indoctrinated and inertial w.r.t the totalitarian thought process (or similar) inculcated.
It hasn't permeated entirely to whole society thankfully, but it is particularly intense in some of them.
If you understand and know this phenomenon like the back of your hand...it becomes far simpler how to focus time and be efficient in handling them (i.e your time is at the premium, theirs is not).
You often have to actually come across han-supremacist cringe-meatheads (either part of govt, bureaucracy, security apparatus... or general citizenry/commerce that idolize these three to some off-putting level) in real life to really understand this.
In real life they can be the type that double deal and/or insult you and/or do the typical clownish or boorish act (like they have attempted number of instances with me, being dark skinned clear foreigner at first glance).
All it takes (in my case w.r.t individuals that are within my suitable purview for a response) is just a few lines of Cantonese as you leave (playing further on their assumption you don't know any Mandarin...and then leave that for next if they try being lippy some more) and it is quite delectable to see their jaw drop and expression change. esp. given their inability to do this in reverse. But opportunity is quite rare to do this for most....and quite impossible in the internet where you lose all situational context and opportunity.
Hong Kongers have come up with some very creative names for this particular CCP-mainlander type, which I will not share here in interest of forum rules...lot of it involves eggs and heads being heavy.
Winnie the pooh incident was just a tiny one that global audience latched onto...but once you are more in tune to the culture at large and at deep enough level, there is huge amount of low hanging fruit to fling a meatheads way.
Totalitarians (and those dependent on them or brainwashed by them) think of catching such fruit in another way, they think if they squeeze it hard enough it can be controlled and act all emotional when it instead slips through their fingers.
Then they will say they meant that all along...and double down on it in whatever way.
They are very archetype of a non-elevated mind....subconciously it rests quite badly on them. Like all bad behaviour patterns, its often case of upbringing....little to be done.
There are good mainlander chinese folks in PRC (past HK where I have most of my childhood friends) and beyond that I find worthy to call friends....but they understand what the meatheads are about and are resigned to managing them.
So there is little time left for better folks like that to do multi-foruming, especially in English. It is very mutually exclusive in general....a catch 22 in forming impression about the larger country.
