China’s Tsinghua University Punishes Students for LGBTQ Flags
...
China’s LGBTQ community is coming under increased pressure as President Xi Jinping promotes more conservative and conformist values around gender and sexual identity.

This is what you get when you put a West-worshipper in charge. But the worst thing is that many people have it the wrong way round:

Being gay, bisexual or trans is seen by some in China as a concept imported from the West -- a misconception that draws on the fact that many foreign embassies in Beijing have highlighted gay rights.

Anti-homopohobia is a Counterculture attitude! The Counterculture was an anti-Western movement! It is therefore homophobia which is Western! And above all, homophobia never existed in ancient China!

Homosexuality and homoeroticism in China have been documented since ancient times. According to certain studies by Dr. Bret Hinsch, now associated with Fo Guang University in Taiwan, reviewed in a journal published by the University of London,[2] homosexuality was regarded as a normal facet of life in China, prior to Western influence from 1840 onwards.[3] Several early Chinese emperors are speculated to have had homosexual relationships accompanied by heterosexual ones.[4] Opposition to homosexuality, according to these same studies, did not become firmly established in China until the 19th and 20th centuries, through the Westernization efforts of the late Qing dynasty and the early Chinese Republic.[5]
