    Xi being too conservative is not a take many people grasp well.

      Discrimination against LGBT people is rife in China. The social attitude towards them isn’t great either.

          This is depressingly hilarious that they even do this in movie posters

            They also do it in tv ads too. I won’t share the ad, but it’s advertising of a detergent that turns black men into chinese men.

          Is it Muslims or just racism? I know they still have blackface on TV and the great censorship Firewall doesn’t block racism.

          Also some African nations have had issues with Chinese delegates being racist while in some African counties

            They particularly don’t like Muslims because of the native Muslim populations up north, such as the Uyghurs.

        I’m pretty sure it way more than discrimination against LGBT. They are hostile to those who don’t fit the narrative and make groups “disappear.” They also don’t allow freedom of belief
