Not surprising. I believe the Communist Party declared homosexuality illegal, seeing it as spreading “western” decadence. Meanwhile, the Chinese have seen firsthand the horrors of the one-child policy and its effects(i.e., the dearth of female Chinese as just one-example) so I’m not surprised by their traditional(and correct) views on these issues.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the new president just relax the one-child policy?
