Taiwanese embrace anti-Xi Jinping badge featuring Winnie the Pooh punch

TL;DR Summary
Taiwanese air force pilots are wearing patches depicting a Formosan black bear punching Winnie the Pooh, representing China's leader Xi Jinping, as a symbol of resistance to Chinese military exercises. The patch has seen a spike in orders since Taiwan's military news agency published a photo of a pilot wearing it. While Taiwan's air force does not encourage its members to wear the patch, it maintains an open attitude to anything that raises morale. China claims Taiwan as its own territory and has not ruled out taking the island by force.
