I’m not sure if this is the correct sub for this and apologies if it’s in the wrong place.

Okay so first things first - this is a clearly bullshit article. It’s published by a US state propaganda mouthpiece, and consists of about 30% “a thing happened and we have no information about why” and 70% screed against evil CCP. I have the critical reading skills to understand that there’s nothing of value here.

However, I can’t read Mandarin so my ability to actually find out what’s really going on is essentially non-existent. I was hoping maybe someone here could help me get more information on what this LGBT center was doing and why it was shuttered so I can file that away for future discussions with my queer acquaintances that are less open minded about China. Was it a front for US NGOs to push capitalism with a rainbow flag? Was it something completely mundane like not paying taxes or filing some paperwork? Is it just an unfortunate case of LGBT people being mistaken for western chauvinism again?
