      It sounds fake if you only read the first sentence that started with “As a Chinese person…”. If you keep reading on and still think propaganda then picard

      As a Chinese person, I can share my own observations from both online and real life:

      LGBTQ+ There is almost no public promotion of LGBTQ+ issues in China. LGBTQ+ individuals are not considered a >mainstream group, and most people are indifferent to them. Online, many references to LGBTQ+ are just jokes >or memes meant to entertain, not necessarily to mock the community. For instance, phrases like “Bro, you smell >so good” are popular online jokes. In real life, if you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, it doesn’t really matter >to most people; everyone has their own life. However, if LGBTQ+ individuals try to date heterosexuals, it usually >leads to discomfort. If a child wants to identify as LGBTQ+, it depends on their parents, and most parents do not >approve. Also, since LGBTQ+ concepts are seen as coming from Western countries, some LGBTQ+ individuals >who are perceived as overly admiring Western culture can face backlash. Chinese public opinion generally >acknowledges heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality, but concepts like “72 genders” and “gender >fluidity” are seen as incomprehensible. Phrases like “My gender is an attack helicopter, and I want to screw a >tank” are commonly used to mock the plethora of gender identities in the West.

      Women’s Rights As a socialist country, women’s rights are well-protected in China. Prostitution is illegal (to combat human >trafficking). In stable government jobs, women make up a large proportion. However, there are some >peculiarities: women have maternity leave, and some declare pregnancy right after being hired to receive paid >maternity leave and then resign afterward. In government jobs, some women may claim they cannot handle the >workload and pass their responsibilities to male colleagues or other female colleagues, leading to a form of >hidden hiring discrimination in some companies and government units.

      Anti-Racism Chinese people generally focus on a person’s actions rather than their race. Discrimination tends to be based on >an individual’s behavior, regardless of skin color or ethnicity. Ethnic minorities in China receive preferential >treatment, with special funds to promote their traditional cultures and extra points on college entrance exams. >However, as the economic conditions of some minorities have become comparable to the Han majority, places >like Shandong are considering abolishing these extra points. Ethnic minorities like Tibetans and Mongolians also >have the option to take their college entrance exams in their native languages. During my university years, >Mongolian students often joked that they didn’t ride horses to school.

      Respect for Youth and the Elderly I don’t quite understand the concept of “respecting the youth.” Is it similar to bowing to someone in Japan? In >China, as the birthplace of Confucianism, respecting the elderly and caring for the young are considered >traditional virtues and are commonly practiced in daily life. However, due to the “Peng Yu case,” where a judge >asked, “If you didn’t knock the old person down, why did you help them up?” many people are now wary of >helping fallen elderly individuals for fear of being extorted (which has happened multiple times). Such >extortionists are referred to as “taking advantage of their old age.”

      Sorry but you’re coming off racist AF, refusing to believe Chinese people talk the way you’ve been told they do. How many Chinese people have you actually met and interacted with? You’d better be an expert on the way Chinese people use the English language if you’re gonna make such a sweeping judgement about it. Otherwise it seems like you’re just demanding that Chinese people assimilate into your culture.
