Chinese writer sentenced to 10 years in prison for homoerotic book
He wrote porn, full stop. Creating pornographic content is an offensive, regardless of content or audience. But good work posting a sensationalized version of events that happens to align with us state dept propaganda.
What the actual fuck?! Where… do people with such a surreal worldview even come from?!
...that was nearly the entirety of the worlds view for most of post printing press history. But in this case a majority of China's citizens felt pornography was offensive, so it's now illegal. Not enough people care to introduce or vote in legislation to make it legal.
lol, not enough people vote in a dictatorship or protest against the dictatorship to make it legal.
China has a robust democracy where every citizen can vote. It's a dictatorship of the proletariat. The reason you think differently is because you've never talked with someone that's ever been to China, much less a citizen of China, so you internalized racist propaganda.
:KEKW: its sad that you actually think that, but no, a one party system is, in fact, not a democracy
There are hundreds of parties in China. The CPC is the starting point, the base set of ideas you have to uphold to hold office. It's the same as swearing to uphold the constitution in the US.
