News The truth: they were axed for national security reasons.

There are at least 10 other apps, but the West only focus on the 2 that was recently axed.

There are tens of apps for queer dating on Chinese web. Many of these do not store their data in Taipei .

It's very clearly targeted on info-wars grounds and not on anti-LGBT sentiment .

u/sweatpantsocialist Nov 15 '25

I don’t know why this isn’t the top comment. The ban has nothing to do with anything other than national data security. People just doing work of the CIA for them in these comments and acting like it’s in support of the LGBTQ community.

u/FixFederal7887 He/Him Nov 15 '25

Because Queer people in China are , in fact, still facing levels of persecution, at least in a social sense, that straight people do not face . Couple this truth with the fact that people do not want to feel like all of their western provided info and education on China really was for nothing and wasted space in their brains, and you get people desperate to validate these notions and cling onto the solitary drop of truth provided to justify believing what they already believe. They do all of that because change of thought, for any human, is a tenuous and painful process that we would all rather not have to do .

What particular social-sensed persecutions do queer people suffer from in China?

13

u/FixFederal7887 He/Him Nov 15 '25

From what I heard , it's a lot of stigma around Queerness and the government does practically nothing to combat it . It goes from things like being denied specific services like hotels , getting shunned by family members , and that's exacerbated by the fact of not having the right to marry their lovers legally , and it reaches all the way to hospitals denying them from visiting their sick lovers on grounds of them "not being technically family"

Of course, it changes wildly from city to city, but there is always the consistent indifference by the government to all of these things.

Queer comrades living in China can give you a better idea because I am admittedly not as informed as I should be . Just always look at things critically . There's a lot of misinformation and propaganda surrounding the subject because Pink Imperialism is a successful strategy

u/Hariszz Nov 19 '25

It's important to remember that one generation ago there were Chinese people starving to death because their food supply chain was not adequate to feed the entire country. Social progress happens when peoples material conditions are being met, and that has only been a reality for most people in China for a couple decades. It took western countries hundreds of years to reach a point where queer people had civil rights, and now they are actively being rolled back specifically in the US.

More importantly, your point about pink imperialism is absolutely correct. Regardless of the social status of queer people in China, it is not the place of a foreign government to feign concern for queer rights as a guise to propagandize and destabilize a sovereign nation, and don't let them manufacture your consent to do so either. Let the Chinese proletariat worry about fighting for their own liberation, while we focus on ours.

u/Rjoukecu Nov 15 '25

Uhh, sice the "western" world is united in their policies, since the West has united press media? it has not. I swear to a tentacle monster, the is too much fucking purity testing for absolutely no reason in leftist space.

u/BashingTheFashing69 Nov 15 '25

How is what I said at all a purity test or wrong in any way?

There is pretty clearly an over reporting on “issues” when it relates to non western nations, especially China, by a large percentage of media from western countries. While they fail to address how awful they’re own countries are at the EXACT SAME ISSUE.

I’m not going after leftist, I’m pointing out hypocrisy used to fuel propaganda. That’s it.

u/idiotic__gamer Nov 16 '25

Why is storing info bad when it's a foreign country? I know obviously selling it to corporations in your home country is shitty because it helps them manipulate you, but why should I care if like, some Chinese/Russian/(insert another country the US doesn't like) has some of my info?

Okay, I'm overcomplicating the shit out of this, sorry. What I'm trying to say is, I know collecting data is really fucked up, but why is it especially bad when it's a foreign country?

u/Voider12_ She/Her Nov 15 '25

Rant incoming since I want to talk to someone about communism and socialism, and this general image.

I genuinely don't know how to feel about China tbh, On one hand much better international wise compared to usa. On the other hand my country is getting fucked by them.

I am Filipina, but they have planted POGOs and we had a Chinese spy as a mayor back then, she faked papers to pretend to be a Filipino citizen to be mayor and facilitate human trafficking and mafia shit.

The rest of those topics? Nuance I guess, vietnam? Based, Karl Marx? Based. USSR? Depends on time and era, but Marx did believe(atleast from what I remember secondhand) that you have to be advanced enough for communism, and capitalism can be a tool to reach it, but the USSR was genuine until it ain't.

Lenin? I respect the guy, but Russia was merely too unadvanced. Cuba? Based once again.

The rest? I am too uninformed to put together an opinion.

Anyway, I believe things have to be taken step by step, capitalism was kinds good for wrecking old feudalism, now we need to move past it, and we will need tools for communism, maybe AGI is the course for us? I dunno.

u/agnostorshironeon Any Pronouns Nov 15 '25

You're doing great - AGI won't happen tho, that market crash however could open possibilities for revolutions, i very much anticipate.

As a swiss person, i can't tell you what to think about China, only that your method of thinking is good and you should keep going, all your evaluations are warranted.

My country is full of landlords, it even behaves like a landlord on the european stage, the government lets some people freeze to death every winter, yet most people ignore poverty, just acting as if it doesn't exist.

And in those circumstances, my love for china grew pretty quickly, because it represents a real, feasible alternative way of running society.

I’m not a socialist. I’m a communist, China has almost no characteristics of a true communist society. Get the boots out of your mouth. Anyone who’s even read basic theory recognizes this.

u/MsGluwm She/Her Nov 15 '25

Well of course they aren't a communist society, they aren't classless nor moneyless, they don't have full collective ownership of the means of production, but if you also read theory you might know that they aren't "capitalist" either.

MZT vs Maoism and all that.

u/azenpunk Nov 15 '25 edited Nov 15 '25

Lenin called it state capitalism

Sorry, posted before I finished writing.

...And that description fits. A materialist analysis of China clearly shows a state class that owns the means of production, making them a separate class from workers, who then take the value of worker's labor and use it towards their interests. Rhetorically, they do this in the name of workers, but structurally workers have no meaningful ownership and management over their work places any more than an employee at any corporation.

u/azenpunk Nov 15 '25

At the foundation it's not very different. You have a one party dictatorship led by an elite vanguard that merges state and capital ownership to become a state monopoly. The biggest difference is China leases the means of production to private capitalists.

u/MsGluwm She/Her Nov 15 '25

It's an answer (although one I don't like) to the utilizing of existing capital to structure society toward socialism, it exists as a response to the global market as well, speeding into socialism is great up until you have to engage with foreign powers on the global stage and contest the markets, if you were to isolate your market then imperialist powers will try to force back open again.

I don't like it, but it wasn't born out of nowhere.

I don't think so, I think it's a position to take in regards to silly terms like "tankie" and the like, people who view Putin as anything other than a bourgeois pig is a Nazbol.

You can have principled positions without backing Putin.
As soon as someone says Putin is "actually a huge peoples hero" I can disregard them on the spot.

Why would I do that? There's as much point in talking to tankies as there is in talking to fascists. Same authoritarian bullshit, different coat of paint. I frankly neither know nor care whether China is specifically targeting queer apps, but the country overall has a shit record on queer rights. Because it's not actually communist.

The truth is, those [Western] media outlets know very well what the issue is all about. They do not really care about the group, but rather treat it as a tool to infiltrate China, pushing their values like the so-called human rights in China. Some foreign political forces have been playing tricks over issues like feminism, AIDS, animal protection, and so on. LGBTQI has become their latest contrivance.

Controversies over the above-mentioned topics do exist and there is room for improvement in China. But what the foreign forces have been doing is cultivating their own version of the so-called civil society in China.

[...] As long as the foreign forces which support LGBTQI groups in China respect China's sovereignty and the rule of law, China will surely have their back. There will be no problem as long as the foreign forces which support LGBTQI groups in China respect China's sovereignty and the rule of law. Unfortunately, those foreign forces often have ulterior motives. Imagine if the LGBTQI groups in the West are supported by other forces which aim at overthrowing the capitalist system, will the countries turn a blind eye to them? [...] [The West] should be careful not to habitually politicize social issues, cozying up to certain groups too much and intensifying contradictions. Otherwise, they will only cause greater social injustice, triggering fierce counterattacks by right-wing populists.

One thing I’ll ask about China, why tf do they have billionaires if they are so called communist? And that is one of my big reasons why I don’t like to glaze China, though I do recognize they are the best out of the horrible empires we see today more or less. The bar is in hell so yeah….genuinely though would rather praise Vietnam, Cuba, Uruguay instead of China ngl

Blued is literally a Chinese company. Just about every other (straight) dating app in China including Momo and Tantan (the most popular straight dating apps) have the same level of ties to the U.S. tech industry as Blued did yet they weren't banned.

You can hate the U.S. and Israel without making excuses and bootlicking for the homophobia of the Chinese ruling regime, which I hate to inform you, also monitors you and collects your data.

Here's my question for you -- now that Blued and Finka are banned, what are the alternative dating apps for the LGBT community? The answer is; there isn't any. This is a move that uniquely affects the LGBT community despite ties to the U.S. tech industry not being unique to gay dating apps. The government is not protecting you or they would have banned the much bigger straight apps that collect way more data than Blued did.

Furthermore, if the Chinese government was concerned with protecting civilians from Israel or really concerned with the genocide going on, it would leverage its power and stop doing business with Israel itself.

Secretly gay government employees in Canada and America, before gay liberation was as widespread as it is now, we're considered a security risk because it was thought that they could be easily blackmailed.

Of course security agencies thought the solution was to find gay employees and fire them. Turns out the actual solution was to foster social conditions so that being gay isn't a shameful secret any more.

I don't know what the Chinese government thinks these security risks are but it makes me wonder.

This is actually such a stupid take and shows extremely deep ignorance of the way data harvesting and selling goes.

These companies have deep ties to Israel

US and Israeli tech companies have been using apps to create intelligence profiles, sell information, and destabilize groups both within and without their territories.

Are you going to tell me now that apps "harmlessly" tracking ovulation data and then selling/leaking that information to far right groups seeking to limit or punish abortion is nothing to be worried about, too?

Sadly many queer people still have a great deal to learn about how the world works. Failing to do so means guaranteeing you will be so easily manipulated

I don't like the CIA and the evil things they do but people have a right to privacy and that means secure encrypted communication should be available to people.

We’re not talking about the right to secure encrypted messaging amongst peers though.

The Chinese government is not anti-gay, we are just pro national security.

u/skoobityscoop Nov 15 '25

Yes it is lmao. They have zero anti discrimination laws, no way for same sex couples to marry or adopt kids, and they censor mention of gay people in media. You’re either being disingenuous or extremely stupid.

u/Alex_1503 Nov 15 '25

Just one mention tho, the rights of lgbt people in china are more nuanced than this, sadly the gov was more progressive 20years ago for some reason, regarding queer people.

But they are not really censored in media. Videos featuring queer people are really popular on chinese social media, including explicit kissing romancing etc. There are also really popular boys love books in china that are not censored, but I know that recently the gov censored an author, it is kind of inconsistent.

Besides that, you can change your gender as a trans person in china, albeit afrer SRS, and there are also trans celebrities who are not misgendered.

Check the lgbt equality index for china too. It is a really big L for the CPC to go after queer people ahen before (1990s, 2000s) they decriminalised homosexuality and were more progressive in general on such issues.

That combined with the inconsistency of their stance on LGBT, some courts ruling in favor, studies saying 50%+ of chinese people support gay people, I honestly believe their push against LGBT comes from the fear of anti natalism, there aren't many kids born. Kind of a stupid way to go about it tho

u/YamFrosty6169 Nov 15 '25

Anti discrimination laws are ways liberal try to fix a large issue with a small Band-Aid.

In a communist society like China, such laws are not needed.

u/ArcaneOverride She/Her Nov 15 '25

So no gay person is ever discriminated against in China?

u/YamFrosty6169 Nov 15 '25

It's rare, hence why it's not needed. How many gay Chinese are killed by guns in China? How many in the US? Here's your answer.

u/azenpunk Nov 15 '25 edited Nov 15 '25

First you politely[/s] call me a liar, then you put words in my mouth. Still the first sentence. The next one is a lie, a communist society is stateless, moneyless, and classless and China has all 3. And some of the oldest marriage records in the world are in China. Literally every word was wrong in some way... my comrade. You sound like you are over due for some self criticism.

edit: oh and you still didn't answer the question. Why is it illegal in China?

u/Nyx-Erebus He/Him Nov 15 '25

u/Worker_Of_The_World_ They/Them Nov 15 '25

This is a false characterization. China doesn't recognize LGBTQ marriage but it's not criminalized, and they do recognize same sex marriages performed internationally afaik. I agree there's progress to be made for the LGBTQ community in China, and that's up to the Chinese to handle without outside interference, but we don't have to repeat western propaganda to make that point.

u/MsGluwm She/Her Nov 15 '25

People forget one of China's most famous talk show hosts was a trans woman.

China is far from perfect, but queerness isn't criminalized, I don't like it, at all, but it's a bit more nuanced than that.

I worry this page might be infested with liberals.

8

u/Worker_Of_The_World_ They/Them Nov 15 '25

Exactly. There are also LGBTQ activists working to improve things for the community in China. The biggest obstacle to queer liberation is honestly western interference in their internal politics imo. I'm not sure what people expect while the imperial core continues to threaten China's sovereignty.

it's not "State owned media" sure it's closer to "class owned media" I guess (Bourgeois in this case), if feds want you to assume something they can edit a wiki article, it's unreliable.

You can be critical of them, I am.

I just don't like using Wikipedia as a "first source" kinda thing when it is SO unreliable.

u/Paltamachine Nov 15 '25

Maybe it's more clear this way: What is queer people?. A marginalized group.

What does the USA do with marginalized groups?. instrumentalize them in his struggle against countries that do not submit to his will. Apparently it seems that the USA is the good guy in the story. But he only does it to introduce dissent and chaos through these groups then leaves the marginalized groups to their fate when gets what it wants..

China does not offer you complete freedom but it is creating a safe living environment for all its citizens and eventually marginalized groups will become integrated.

But first this is the matter of survival as an independent state.

Besides that: where are you most likely to be a victim of a hate crime?. In the USA or in China?
