It doesn’t weaken the totalitarian system.

People chained by their own addictions are easier, not harder, to control.

Now all the govt has to do is let them have lots of sex, and it will be good enough for them, things such as freedom are long forgotten.

I didn't say it weakens the system. I said it is a sign of the weakening of the system. It's an effect, not necessarily a cause, of a freer environment in China.

Perhaps. But why do you suppose totalitarian regimes have historically been so hostile to sexuality and drug use? For example, why is the increased sexuality in China such a new and remarkable thing? If it made the populace docile and indifferent to freedom, I would have guessed the Communist regime would have started actively promoting it long before now.
