China orders broadcasters to ban "sissy men" it deems aren't masculine enough for TV

China's government banned effeminate men on TV and told broadcasters Thursday to promote "revolutionary culture," broadening a campaign to tighten control over business and society and enforce official morality.

President Xi Jinping has called for a "national rejuvenation," with tighter Communist Party control of business, education, culture and religion. Companies and the public are under increasing pressure to align with its vision for a more powerful China and healthier society. The party has reduced children's access to online games and is trying to discourage what it sees as unhealthy attention to celebrities.
