It really doesn't unless you believe the state media that's allowed to come out of it. Even then, they publicly reject any lgbt type content.

Calling it “vulgar, immoral and unhealthy content”.

Even going so far as to jail a women for 10 years for producing BL content.

Good thing you're doing sober examination and study into life in China without western bias, how it has improved real living conditions for its people, and applying that principle equally across the board
