The pamphlet seems fine...but for 7 year olds? Sexual fantasies? HIV? That's kinda fucked up imo.

You can never start too early to educate about sex tbh....

Is easier to mold the minds of children to be more accepting and understanding of sexuality in its myriad forms than it is to change the minds of adults who have already formed very strong opinions on the matter.
With the right awareness campaign things can change dramatically in less than a generation.

Maybe parents instead of being outraged stop lying to their children and talk to them about these topics.

But what if they become sex fiends?

What if they don't. Just because is possible doesn't mean is likely.

They care.
If you are in China, the most popular show right now is hosted by a trans-woman.

Damn China, when did you start caring?
This really depends on which part of China you go to. Some parts are really down to earth and progressive... and I've heard great things about Chengdu as being far more relaxed than other urban centers.
I had my first sex-ed course when I was 8 or 9 years old in Canada, so it's not far off the mark.

The thing is, its like a late night show, but she actually talks about the problems gay and trans people face in China.
No shit?
I suppose I can't be too surprised. This is the inevitable end result of dense urban centers where tons of folks are intermingling on a regular basis. I fully believe that cities are just predisposed towards tolerance and multiculturalism by the very nature of their existence. The fact that even China sees this sort of thing happening in the wake of its censorship-heavy communist regime is quite promising, indeed.
The past US election cycle has firmly convinced me that the real issue lies in the rural/outer suburb vs urban split. Urban values just tend not to coincide with rural values, and that's where things really clash. Wouldn't surprise me at all if the split is very similar over in China.

Who even knows the motivation behind this but it's going to be "LOL NICE TRY CHINA YOU STILL SUCK"
That would be funny, but I seriously doubt it.

Explaining reproductivity to youngsters ain't that crazy. Teachers don't just put on a video of pornhub at random.
It's the very basics of biology.
The age thing is fine those cartoons are hilarious.

'bad touch' and 'good touch' and more innocuous topics I can certainly understand. But...are you saying at 5 years old, the topics covered in the OP were addressed? Interesting.
