I think China’s indifference to LGBT+ issues gets misconstrued in the West, because indifference here means people get hurt. China literally has Trans healthcare. Yeah, they don’t have same sex marriage but that doesn't seem to be a big issue, at least it’s not something they’re thinking about solving right now. I do not know what their laws on discrimination are, if there is any, but regardless the idea that China is a conservative paradise is very weird. Just because they’re friends with Russia doesn’t mean they feel the same way about LGBT+ people. It’s like you said, they are not interested in the culture war, and rightly so. It’s just a distraction from class war.
I do not know what their laws on discrimination are
I'm not familiar with specifics of PRC law but I remember even The Economist reporting that a trans woman won a discrimination law suit in China back in 2020.

I do remember that case! Not the specifics of course, but its existence. This just dismantles Hinkle’s (and MAGAcoms) whole schtick.
