If by "fight by our side" you mean sell us out to the Kremlin or the CCP, sure.
Also over a million Uighurs in prison camps.
Based on a survey done of four people by literally a German fascist who believes God gave him a mission to destroy China, sure.
In China it's also illegal for gay couples to marry and adopt; stop pretending like you care about LGBTQ rights.
Most American states only legalized same-sex marriage and adoption in the 2010s. Like America, China has socially conservative older generations and socially progressive younger generations. The country and its people are not monolithic, they're not some alien land where people are fundamentally different from here. Support for marriage equality is widespread and rising in China, they appear to be on the same track as America.
Stop making paranoid assumptions about people. How is anyone supposed to communicate when that is the dynamic?
It's really simple, stop cherry picking bits of information to try to make any one country look good. Don't be a propagandist. Be aggressively critical of America and China for every single way in which they oppress LGBTQ people.
Honest question: What is a tier 1 city?
Cities in China are ranked in terms of population and overall prosperity. So Beijing, Shenzen, Shanghai and maybe some others are tier 1. Then other ones, like perhaps Tianjin and Wuhan would be tier 2 etc. I think India has a similar system, probably because they both have at least one or two hundred cities each
