The people in China approve the government at about a 95% approval rate. The CPC has 96 million members out of the 1.4 billion citizens of China, while this is not mean the government is the people, the people do seem to be represented by government well there. And this is backed by improving material conditions. LGBT conditions are improving over time as well, Jin Xing is an openly transgender celebrity and she is beloved by the country. You should also look into how China’s democracy works, as it is based from the bottom up in consensus building, which is why grassroots change is slow yet sure.
Regarding your targeted question, I myself am pansexual, of course I want same-sex marriage to be legalized in China. There are already strides being made in the direction of legal and medical rights for couples even without being legally recognized as a marriage, but this is positive change. I hope China follows in Cuba’s footsteps with their Family Code, one of the most progressive and expansive in the world, far surpassing the US at a federal level. Signs are positive.
Probably not, but that’s not the point of my original comment, that the headline you chose seems to imply only LGBT erotica was targeted. I think you should check out the links I sent, you might learn something new and can be more hopeful for the future.
You chose to post the article and have been getting into fights with people in the comments. I support China overall, there are areas that definitely need improvement but the trends are positive and they are a much more progressive force on the global stage than a country like the US. Moreover, I don’t even live in China so my opinion wouldn’t be counted on a poll taken from Chinese citizens.
I posted an article and got the usual response, I’d hardly call that a fist fight. (Most) People here seem to agree that imprisoning people for erotic fiction writing isn’t right. That’s all I need to know.

When sharing an article highlighting that LGBT erotica was targeted, and not erotica in general, you attempt to twist and massage a narrative. Even state media reports are quite positive and open minded regarding the LGBT community for supposedly being “firmly against them.” Demographics within the National Party Congress are changing towards a younger demographic as well. The older generations oppose same-sex marriage, while the younger generations are for it, so these changing demographics are positive for same-sex marriage outlook. You don’t really seem to know what you’re talking about at all, and it shows.

And do you think people should be imprisoned for writing erotic fiction?

I didn’t choose the headline, I’m not the author.
Sounds like you’re in the 5%
And sorry, I don’t click links on lemmy. But, I’ll take your word for it, even though I doubt 95% of people could agree on any single topic.
