An image that is obviously not a photo. The dude is literally standing on a large puzzle board. It's a reference to something that actually happened, and clear it's not an actual photo... Should political cartoons also be removed in your opinion?

I don’t think it’s obvious at all, especially when you view it on a mobile. You can also see the words Morrison used to describe the post: “truly repugnant, deeply offensive, utterly outrageous. The Chinese government should be totally ashamed of this post. It diminishes them in the world’s eyes. It is a false image and a terrible slur on our defense forces.”

As for whether the post should be removed.. well, I’m personally against censorship, but if you’re going to remove Trump’s posts then I similarly think this post ought to be removed as well.
