Okay but like what happens in Beijing when you say you're not satisfied? Also, weren't there large scale protests there not to long back?
Nothing
USA propaganda
USA conditions are so shitty for black people and other minorities that cities were being burned
French conditions for minorities are so shitty that there are protests there every day and many cities are on fire
Conclusion: Socialism >>>> (Capitalism = shit)
Dude they're fucking state capitalists, not socialists. Also, cities were not being burned but way to parrot right wing talking points. In fact you could easily be a right winger hoping to drum up support. Hell, if you support China you already support anti-lgbt legislation so you probably are just some dumb fuck who thought he knew anything about the left.
Ugh such tired, ignorant arguments. Disappointing, especially for someone so sure of themselves.
Social development is a matter of and emerges from material development, and so it is absurd to expect equal social development between countries of varying material development (of which China's underdevelopment was a matter of Western colonialism/imperialism). It is inaccurate to say "anti-lgbt legislation", and more accurate to say "lack of desirable pro-LGBT+ legislation" (same-sex relationships are legal in China, although same-sex marriage is not legally recognized for instance, with some concessions in this field, of which improvement has been occuring.
2020 report published in BMC Public Health: "For member of the Chinese LGBT community, the greatest source of pressure to conform to societal norms of sexuality and identity comes from family members—particularly parents [...] a higher level of economic development in provinces was associated with a decrease in discrimination, and we identified that every 100 thousand RMB increase in per capita GDP lead to a 6.4% decrease in discriminatory events perpetrated by heterosexuals [...] he prevalence of this discrimination is associated with the economic development of the province in which it occurs."
As such, development is conducive to progressive change, and development is prioritized in China, especially poverty alleviation, which more rapidly builds the base for improving LGBT+ acceptance/equality. Please read and don't misrepresent things in the future.
