Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In their submissions to the Independent Expert, civil society organizations have also highlighted important advances and remaining challenges. A non-governmental organization submitting information on China noted that the old “hooligan crime”, which had had an impact on same-sex relations between men, had now been reformed, while gender identities were not criminalized in the country. There remained issues of implementation, for example, in the employment sector, particularly in relation to transgender persons.
