In a bid to shore up its perceived strength as an ascendant global leader, the ruling Chinese Communist Party has banned effeminate men, which it refers to by a phrase in Chinese that translates roughly to “sissy men,” from the media.
The ban affects a spectrum of Chinese males, ranging from full-on transgenders to pop music stars with silky smooth skin and boyish charm.
It’s no exaggeration to say that East Asian “sissy men” are effeminate in the extreme. Exhibit A is the South Korean boy band phenom BTS.
I know, from hands-on, in-the-field amateur sociological research, that East Asian women, as a general rule, adore men who present in this way. The ultra-masculine ideal — assuming it existed at some point in Asia (which it surely did, for instance, in WWII-era Imperial Japan) — no longer does. So there is substantial social incentive for East Asian men to adopt this persona and appearance.
The problem here for China, as for the rest of the world, is that it’s going to need a lot more than censorship to combat the feminization of men. It’s the physical environment, not just the culture, driving the phenomenon.

Tell them to stop lauuuughing at me. I am just an unfrozen caveman lawyer, and your ways are strange to me!
The Chinese also have different algorithms for TikTok.
joe rogan:
“The way China is handling it is so different than America,” said Rogan. “China’s version of TikTok celebrates academic achievements and athletic achievements. It’s all science projects. All these different fascinating things.”
“What makes it even more impressive, in his view, is the fact that it has a ‘youth mode.’ It’s a feature that limits people under 14 from using the app for more than 40 minutes per day, and the shut-off time is 10pm.”
If at some point China whips our asses we have no one to blame but us.

Only if you are prone to believe the propaganda videos - China is mostly fake - a false facade like a cheap Western, or a Chinese Ghost city.
Islam never created scat of benefit to modern man.

Wrong!!! The Palestinians invented the cell phone bomb! There you see they made a major beneficial contribution to modern society.
Other than that, the biggest industries are rumors and slavery.
Rogan: China under the CCP is the best form of governance ever invented; praise the Chairman and Leader Xi for their wisdom and great foresight!
I take it you’ve never been to China.
So you believed all that your Chinese handlers showed you? Congratulations!!!
I’ve been there quite a few times over the last 20+ years and the advances they have made have been nothing short of spectacular.
You want to wallow in your ignorance and still live in a world that no longer exists, go ahead.
Sadly closed minds like you are not uncommon in freeperland.

Ah, thanks for the personal attack - as such, that makes me doubt the validity of your assertion.
At least in South Korea, the males have to join the Army.
“Ah, thanks for the personal attack”
Not an attack, just an observation.
Sure sure of course see ya troll.
Big Mike likes his style
Not unless you can bribe your way out of it.
But I would think in South Korea it would be scandalous for a prominent male star to skip Army service.
Shredded jeans fads started in the early 1990s. Back then, some enterprising soul achieved a bit of notoriety by purchasing brand-new off-brand denim trousers, shooting them with a shotgun, and selling them as “custom made designer bluejeans”.
I'll never forget seeing an article some years ago in National Geographic on South Korea and in the window of a South Korean restaurant was a sign that read "Americans Not Welcome''.
