Resolution criteria:

This market will resolve to "Yes" if an official representative of the White House publicly mentions "Winnie the Pooh" in any capacity between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025. The mention must be verifiable through official transcripts, press releases, or reputable news sources. If no such mention occurs within the specified timeframe, the market will resolve to "No."

Official White House twitter / X account mentioning it also counts, or if they post / repost a cartoon - but reposts have to be in their official capacity (e.g. their official account).

Background:

Winnie the Pooh, a beloved children's character created by A.A. Milne, has been at the center of political sensitivities, particularly in China. Since 2013, Chinese authorities have censored images and references to Winnie the Pooh due to comparisons made between the character and President Xi Jinping. These comparisons have led to the banning of related content on Chinese social media platforms and the prohibition of the 2018 film "Christopher Robin" in China.

Given this context, any mention of Winnie the Pooh by the White House in 2025 could be interpreted in various ways, potentially influencing international relations or domestic discourse.
