What the article says is, of course, horrible. But even if you believe it, it is parents who put their kids in conversion camps. The only part where the govt. comes in is with the assertion that some people heading these "schools" are members of the CCP (which has over 90 million members so c'mon). There are two other articles in this series but they are paywalled so can't talk about them.
Here is a good article covering LGBTQ+ news in China (positives and negatives).
Here is some direct rebuttal by someone more educated.
All this kind of coverage in Western news does is make certain conservative voices within the Global South associate lgbt rights as "western" and hurt marginalized people within.
I mean, surely if the Anglosphere is condemning other countries for having these camps, they go out of their way to dismantle them, right?
They've been banned in Canada, not sure about the rest of the anglosphere. I assume not.
Its bullshit. They just name it something else. I know someone that was in a camp in Canada recently that was conversion therapy related. They just say 'nooo of course not, we're just wholesome Christians doing wholesome torture'.
