Ah yes, these "experts" who visit China only to come back and report on something obvious that's been publicly known already are just spreading CCP propaganda!

Insulting Pooh is bad enough on its own. But insulting Tigger... ugh. Maybe I'm biased because he's my favourite Winnie the Pooh supporting character, but... yeah, screw you if you take such a cheap shot at such a cute kitty. Tigger is a nice guy and just as sweet and hug shaped as Pooh, this isn't cool.
(Even if those pictures do look very similar, there was definitely a way to joke about that without being racist towards either of those public officials, or rude to Pooh and Tigger. Although, as someone who does not respect the United States as a nation, I do consider comparing Tigger to a US politician to be an insult in itself.)
To clarify: that isn't official Pooh and Tigger art. Somebody drew that specifically to make the racist joke.
Oh, well, that explains why it didn't quite look right.
And yep, that's a hell of a lot worse. If it was just "Oh, those two look a lot like a well known scene of Pooh and Tigger! There's a good international relations joke in there because Pooh and Tigger have such an interesting yet friendly relationship, with Tigger always pouncing him and yet they're still close enough for hugs!", well, that'd be understandable, and a lot of younger adults who aren't Pooh fans tend to be... less tactful... with such observations than a Pooh fan might be, so I could accept it as someone simply being mildly rude, but to draw Pooh and Tigger simply to use Tigger's name as racist wordplay?
That guy deserves the fucking wall. Or better, feed him to a tiger. Since letting Tigger bounce him to death isn't possible and it wouldn't be fair to inflict the trauma of killing onto Tigger if it was possible.
