I'm gonna be honest. When it's about big cities like Shanghai, they have become a lot more open-minded than the previous generation, especially the younger generation. However, China isn't only about the younger generation of big cities.

There are also many conservative people in the older generation and not to mention a lot of people in the rural area that are way more conservative. China is huge and each province can be quite different from each other. If you want to know how China works with ruling the country

You have to understand that getting rid of poverty, creating job opportunities, and improving the daily life of the people are the most important priority of the Country besides unity. Each opinion of a representative group counts. If the elder generation are all for one opinion

That is really out of date, are you gonna say "Oh, but I don't care, 'cause you're gonna die in a few years anyway?" Of course not. There is a reason why China is called the public's Republic of China. They make decisions based on the standards of what I earlier mentioned

While taking consideration of the opinion of each group. I mean yes, you can't please everyone, which is why there are a lot of those ridiculous censorship that are meant to protect the minors as China doesn't have a ratings board.

But you know what? In the past 40 years, 850 million people were lifted out of extreme poverty
70 years ago, almost half of the population were
illiteracy, in 2010, the percentage dropped to 4.08%
Also, universal healthcare with all the expense of Covid-19 patients being covered

It's not the Western type of democracy indeed, but if 90% of the people within the country are satisfied with this way of ruling, who are you who doesn't even live there to say that China should overturn it.

It sounds harsh, but atm, China has still other priorities. Just because you can't have your gay shows in the way you like it is not a reason to deny the whole system you're not even familiar with. Especially when it's proven that it works. China isn't perfect but come on!

Don't be too brainwashed by Western media, stop reason in the I think manner and actually look up facts.

I'm sorry, but I really can't stand how much sinophobia there is in this fandom sometimes. Ignore me if it was irrelevant to you
