    With Chinese society increasingly tolerant of LGBTQ+ people, “the law should catch up”, said the activist.

    Liberals will literally write that sentence and still deny that China is democratic

      I’m a bit confused. Wouldn’t that sentence imply that Chinese society isn’t democratic since the will of the people isn’t reflected in law?

        They can’t say that because the countries they claim are democracies have the same problem

        I understand that you read it as “Well it should but we all know it will not”, but in the context of the article the subtext is more like “generally when public opinion shifts the law follows”
