Despite being the most populous and regulated nation in Asia, China still does not have any official statistics on the number of homosexuals in the country. However, unofficial estimates indicate that there may be 20-40 million homosexuals currently living in China. Yet until recently, there was almost no mention of the word homosexual or any information on this topic, which is still considered a taboo in many parts of the country. The modern government, regardless of their many advances, still maintains a stoic silence akin to Communist-era China when it comes to gays and lesbians.
