Chinese college gives Harvard international students "unconditional offers"
A Hong Kong college has promised "unconditional offers" for international students at Harvard after the Trump administration revoked the Ivy League's ability to enroll them.
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) said it would help "ensure a smooth transition" for students who may be unable to enroll for the next school year.
The White House's attempt to prevent Harvard enrolling international students next year is the latest blow in its fight with America's oldest—and richest—university, which refused to comply with government's demands to change how it hires and teaches. The U.S. government is cracking down on elite colleges it alleges are overrun by left-wing extremists and antisemitic movements.
If China decided to unilaterally implement democratic reforms, they'll slingshot past the United States on the human rights front.
They wouldn't have to be quick about it either, given how quickly Trump is trying to wipe out democracy.
It would be a surreal thing, but suddenly something that's actually plausible.
If China starts accepting queer people then it's going on my list of potential asylum states.
Personal freedoms realy isn't what China is known for, but holy hell could they dump the world order by doing what the United States wants to fail at.
Lived there. No it wouldn't.
What were tasting in the US now? Still absolute heaven compared to China.
You should consider Taiwan instead, if you have a career they want.
Uh, you can have a civil union in China if your gay. They also have tons of what they call boy love movies. Additionally, there's gay bars in every major city in China. In fact, Chengdu is known as the gay capital of China.
The issues are they do have are, you can't show kissing in those movies and they don't allow parades anymore. Also, no legal protections for discrimination, though all discrimination laws apply. So while you can't say they fired you because your gay, you still have protections that they can't randomly fire you without cause and being gay isn't a cause.
Here's an article about what I am talking about.

Not terrible, also, not great. That kind of described China as a whole though so take that how you will.
Edit
Here's a list of boy love films if your interested.

Surprisingly they're more popular with women as opposed to men. Not entirely sure why.
They’re getting there, I think. Chengdu is already looking pretty good when it comes to that.
Zero possibility.
The just need to open their system a little bit to let STEM people migrate in and have some academic freedom and economic success, the rest are just too far stretch. the ruling class and middle class has had very little interests to change the political order, now even less so.
Near zero.
Status quo is fine enough, but they would fucking crush it if they made the decision.
