What Does China’s Cultural War Say About Culture?

BAO, HONGWEI

Abstract

A ‘cultural war’ is taking place in China: from the banning of effeminate young men on film and television to the censorship of boys’ love fan fiction; from the restriction of video game hours for young people to the banning of commercial tutoring for school pupils. One cannot help asking: What is happening in China? Is this the start of another ‘cultural revolution’? Is the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) against culture?
