There's a bunch of articles in western press about crack downs on queer communities in China, as well as feminist communities. What's the reality? Is it actually happening? Why?

    They do vote for some things but otherwise they practice the mass line (although I don't that term was actually used in between Mao and Xi, Xi has revived the use of the term). Think about a party official going to a village and saying "what kinds of problems do you have here? What could I do to help?" And then actually following up on that, something like this is shown in the PBS documentary which I think is called China's War on Poverty.

        Oh don't worry, it only aired in a limited fashion before PBS pulled it for being too pro China (but I believe it's available on YouTube anyway)
