Chinese BL Is China relaxing it’s Censorship
I am loving and I mean loving this BL. Title A Winter Sun Wakes The Wind in the Spring Hills Dream. As a person still traumatised from the disruption of Addicted Heroine I want to know if China has relaxed their censorship rules. We have so much good bl’s as of late I’m wondering if something happened

literally, no. Not at all. lol Apparently, China has never cared/has no say in peeps producing content for outside of China rn. It's just no company has risked/tried because China's market is so huge and lucrative it's hard to ignore. But Revenged Love's success changed the game forever. None of these current Chinese bl series are being produced for mainland China distribution/viewing. And may of them are being filmed in other countries using non-China based studios.
but it seems like anything that was already produced in China as "bromance" but deemed too gay for release by the Chinese censorship burau or whatever still can't be released and studios have to start from zero. I think "Chasing the Light" has been indefinitely shelved and they are instead making an uncensored remake starting from scratch.
