That doesn't make any sense, the law "recognizing" certain relationships isn't the same as purely acknowledging the existence and possibility of them for the purpose of laws like if there is a law against cheating on a partner.
Yeah is there some kind of trap card thing in Chinese law where as soon as a court recognizes that two women had a relationship it immediately makes gay marriage legal?
Hmm, the person tweeting this (as far as I can tell, they're not living in China currently, and is some 1st gen Chinese Canadian YA author who writes Chinese history-inspired fantasy/SF) provided some "elaboration" on the alleged situation:-
The source is from a Chinese lawyer. The law about "ruining a military marriage" specifies committing bigamy or cohabitating with a military spouse, and cohabitation is currently defined as "living as if husband and wife"
If the court wants to charge these women they are then recognizing that two women can legally have a relationship as serious as that of a husband and wife
(responding question whether the cheating couple is being imprisoned) No the soldier is threatening to sue the women unless they give him 200k RMB (27k USD) but they are threatening to counter-sue him for extortion. So right now it's just threats. Even the lawyer I saw this from doesn't know how a court would rule in this case.
Not sure about the anonymous "Chinese lawyer" source that they're relying on, and I can't find a news source reporting on this case; elsewhere in the thread they posted an SCMP article, but it was about a "coventional" heterosexual jody case from earlier this year). Be that as it may, on first glance, the purpoted legal logic doesn't seem to be completely without legs to me? If cohabitation is legally defined as "living as if husband and wife", it seems at least arguable (not saying that it's an argument that Chinese courts will definitely accept) that the court cannot legally recognise a "lesbian cohabitation" situation without first recognising the concept of a marriage/legally-recognised union between two women?
I was thinking what if the law is written so it only applies if the cheating couple could get married after causing a divorce, which would be an extremely funny way to word a law like this.
Yeah am I to understand that the law doesn't recognize the "existence and possibility" of same sex relationships and legally views them as impossible? Like, there's no rules that say a dog can't play basketball?

Fuck it, struggle session time*: A soldier in the PLA, safeguarding the revolution, is substantively different from an imperialist boot.
The lack of same-sex marriage is a gunuine L, but not a new one unfortunately. Still, uncritical support to my sisters who got it.
* Not really, I got shit to do and I'm not staring at my phone all day for this crap.

Part of women's liberation is being not financially dependent on men, especially through marriage.
If you look at the cases of military marriages in the US as example, the situation we imagine is that some 18 year old women right out of high school marries a boot for the financial benefits. This basically a direct exchange of sex for money. Some communist writers have made very direct comparisons between monogamous marriage and sex work. A generally accepted opinion on hexbear is that sex workers are good but forcing women into sex work is bad.
I think really you're asking the wrong question. The question should not be "Should people who violate PLA military marriages be punished?". The question should be "Why are there women who are financially dependent on military marriages?" The answer is that they shouldn't be and if women weren't financially dependent on the marriage, they can just leave the marriage instead of cheating. The answer is that a communist society would move away from enforced monogamy.

Yeah but why do they get extra marriage insurance? It's just weird

What about a PLA soldier fighting for the Khmer Rouge against Vietnam
They weren't really fighting "for" the Khmer Rouge back then. China saw itself encircled by USSR aligned countries, the incursion (can't call it invasion, it was only a couple local division, no airt support, no artillery, no naval support) served to demonstrate to Vietnam that the USSR would not go all in for it and it should thus cut the crap it did at the time (such as offloading reactionaries to China instead of dealing with them themselves, diverting weapons intended for Cambodias liberation struggle for themselves). China achieved it goal, hence it considers the incursion a military victory, because strategically it was. Vietnam stopped being a dick.
The alignment with Cambodia was because China needed a local counter balance to Vietnam. once the strategical goal was achieved, the alignment ended.
damn this really makes my pokemon run out of PP
In a conflict between the US and China, the strongest weapon in the PLA arsenal is Tik Toks posted by soldiers' spouses and girlfriends at home.
Joking aside, don't take legal analysis from a rando on the internet just as you wouldn't take medical or financial advice from them. Most people know sweet fuck all about the law and will act as if they're god's gift to jurisprudence.
"Ruining a soldiers marriage."
She's not happy, Dave. Let her go.
This is one area of rather consistent China L's, let's be real, every day until queer folks are granted rights is an L
Lmao, lol, imagine prosecuting people for cheating on their military spouse instead of giving them a medal and a pension
Barely understood this sentence
China wages war on 左迪
Maybe a hot take, I always got the vibe they were on some Chinese gusano bs and pretty much tuned them out whenever they'd start getting in their anti-China bag; esp bc they use it to shill VPNs like every other video. Always felt like a mildly-more-PC enby Uncle Roger to me, and that kinda makes my skin crawl a lil
No they clearly are, you have to be almost wilfully ignorant to try and pretend that history hasn't challenged Robespierre as a historical icon; when I used to watch them I remember them making Robespierre cosplay videos basically doing a critique of capitalism but never actually addressing capitalism.
is China a country where courts can actually do that? all the charts seem to place them as using civil law so it seems a bit anglo to assume a court decision would impact more than the immediate case
I re read this but I'm still lost. I get that gay rights and state recognition part. The rest about soldier affair crime is garbled to me. What are they saying. Why would a marriage divorce require defining of gay relations.
