China Bans 'Sissy Boys'

According to Montesquieu, when a tyrant fears an external threat he promotes masculinity and strength among the youth. When he has no external threat, and instead fears a possible internal rebellion, he promotes effeminacy and weakness among young people (as a method for staving off a revolution). China has started a full-throated, thoroughgoing initiative to masculinize their young men . . . which implies that they perceive an external threat. Is this yet another indicator that China is prepping for a hot war?
