US-backed news outlets love to exaggerate and complain about China’s supposed anti-LGBT policies that don’t actually exist. There’s some really good discussion around this on r/Sino Reddit.

Pride is a reaction and fight against police state repression of LGBT (particularly trans people). If they’re not being repressed in China, I would understand not needing/caring to have a Pride parade.
About where I’m at. Chauvinistic westerners look at the LGBT enclaves of other nations, especially farther east, and tend to forget… The only reason the bastardization of Pride that the West observes even existed in the first place was because it used to be a riot against oppression. Nowadays, all I see is what used to be a remembrance, turned into a ceremonial licking of the boot that stomps our necks.
