      I wouldn’t call it a fascist state. Far from a fascist state. Just your average poorly mismanaged dictatorship. As long as you don’t protest, your life would probably be fine. You don’t have unlimited access to the internet, you cannot easily find certain information the government doesn’t want you to know (Eg: Tiananmen). But believe it or not, LGBT+ people aren’t actively hunted down like the media always depict it to be. It isn’t like countries with Islamic law. The worst thing LGBT people have to live with is that they don’t have any legal protections against discrimination. You aren’t allowed to protest for better protection for LGBT+ people, you just have to live with it. Everything the news talked about essentially boils down to censorship. You aren’t allowed to make any LGBT+ chat groups. But thats far different than literal genocide (although, I wont deny the possible genocides of other groups of people, I just don’t have enough reliable information to ascertain the validity of those claims, although I wouldn’t be surprised if those claims were true). China obviously isn’t a paradise, but it’s nowhere near as bad as Nazi Germany. You’re probably thinking of Mao-Era China, not modern China.

      Basically: Don’t criticize the government and they leave you alone (for the most part)

      Source: My experience from living in China before I immigrated to the US, and the life stories my parents and grandparents told me, and relatives currently living in China.

      (Oh you know the Censorship thing? Lol my relatives in China basically has free access to outside information via calling overseas relatives like my family in the US. If they want to censor that, they’d have to cut off all phone calls.)
