Summary

China has intensified its crackdown on erotic fiction writers, particularly those creating danmei (gay romance/erotica), with over 50 arrests in Anhui province since June 2024.

At least 10 individuals have been sentenced, with penalties reaching up to 4.5 years in prison. Many writers published on Taiwan-based Haitang Literature, which has faced disruption.

Under China’s strict laws, earning over 250,000 yuan (~$34,500) from such works can result in a life sentence, though reduced sentences are possible if profits are repaid.

Critics argue the campaign undermines freedom of expression and inflates sales figures to justify harsh punishments.

    China has a one party political system. This means, that there is no opposition. All members that may get elected to any position are picked by the CCP. All elections must adhere to the ruling of the CCP. The ruling of the CCP is part of the Chinese constitution.

    How is this different from not allowing political parties at all, which is what the founding fathers of the US wanted, exactly?

    I’m not arguing with you because i’m pro-china, I just don’t think that argument would land on someone who was pro-china. Furthermore that’s not evidence that the elections are rigged, i’m looking for evidence of poll-tampering, y’know, clear signs that the people did not choose which candidate won.

    What is the process the CCP uses for choosing these delegates? I can’t find any information on that, that would be useful to have, i’ve been looking around for quite a while, articles have been unhelpful.

    This doesn’t sound the slightest like a free democratic election.

    Can’t this easily be said about the US with the whole electoral college thing?
