Original Note:
The claim that Zhou was gay comes from a 2015 book by Tsoi Wing-Mui, "The Secret Emotional Life of Zhou Enlai". There is no evidence that he was gay https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/30/world/asia/book-says-zhou-enlai-chinese-premier-may-have-been-gay.html Mao Zedong was a homophobe and believed in the sexual castration of "sexual deviants" (any group besides heterosexuals) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_history_in_China
