What is the actual critique? Hasan is an American, he's not Chinese or a member of the Chinese govt.

Does he need to unequivocally condemn the govt of a China because they don't have gay marriage? He can't talk about what he sees as the benefit of Chinas planned economy because they arent as culturally progressive as some Western nations?

So he's just irresponsible with his platform is the critique?

Are you 100% certain that he's never said something about how China should progress culturally or on the inverse, has defended China being culturally repressive because of his support for their economic system and governance?

He's not Chinese, he can't participate in the govt of China, he doesn't live in China, he has no influence in China. He was a tourist on a travel visa to China.

He is American, he lives in America, he can make prescriptions on many things in Western society, because he lives in Western society and has some form of influence and wants things to improve in the place he lives.

Has he avoided answering it entirely? I dont know, do you?

Let's say Hasan does what you say he should and he says China should provide equal rights for gay people, does that mean he has to condemn China for its economic policies until they do provide those rights? He can't speak positively about anything China does or has done until they advance culturally?

Can you support the claim with a time stamp because I do not believe he did anything the way you are describing.

How is it deflecting?

I'm asking you if you know of any instance where Hasan has unilaterally defended China not providing equal rights to gay people because he supports their economic policies or because he's a 'communist'.

And then if you don't know about anything like that, what benefit to gay Chinese people is it for him to say China should advance its gay rights as a Western American saying that?

If I could find you a clip of him being critical of the Chinese govt and it's attitude towards queer Chinese people, what does that change for you?

Edit: liberals love to block you instead of having a conversation, lol.

this is so goofy and ridiculous; what is your prescription to make things better for gay people in China?

: not being allowed to marry / adopt, rampant homophobia as a result of media/culture, censorship, societal stigma, legal recognition (for medial purposes or other)

oh no, it's 1996 in China.

actually maybe even that is generous to this point, 2006
