Revelant section translated by whatever random translation add on I used for French/German...
Resolutely resist pan-entertainment. Strengthen cultural self-confidence, and vigorously promote Chinese excellent traditional culture, revolutionary culture, and advanced socialist culture. Establish the correct aesthetic orientation for the program, strictly control the selection of actors and guests, performance styles, costume makeup, etc., and resolutely put an end to "girly guns" and other abnormal aesthetics. Resolutely resist the pan-entertainment tendencies such as hype to show off wealth and enjoyment, gossip privacy, negative hot spots, vulgar "net celebrities", and bottomless review of ugliness.

I mean that part is good. Just seems like they're missing the mark and blaming it on the wrong thing. Big bummer
I don't know enough about Chinese pop culture to know if I'm supposed to interpret "girly guns" as metrosexual or as queer.
I could maybe see moving away from metrosexual stuff. That all seems more oriented towards people who spend an inordinate amount of time/money on self presentation as being of a higher class.
If its what it sounds like, and the target is actually queer folk, that's disappointing.
I think you can interpret it as both. Any pushback against metrosexual behaviour is defacto a pushback against queer behaviour because "guy acts outside of traditional gender role expectations" is a feature of both. Whether that is the intent or not that is the consequence.
This kind of thing will be brought up over and over again in any of our attempts to defend China to lgbt and lgbt-supporting people, which is much more than half the population in the west. It absolutely cripples our ability to defend them.
There's a post about this on r/communism with a link to what is supposed to be the actual CPC document.
Hellsite link to r/communism thread.
Link to what I believe is supposed to be the actual official document.
You will need to translate this on your own.

The part that gets me is the “other abnormal aesthetics” bit
:yea:
