Within days, the Chinese Communist Party publication the People’s Daily published a memorandum announcing LGBT content should not be confused with vulgar, violent or pornographic content, and Weibo announced its three-month crackdown would no longer target LGBT content. 
Ndani ya siku chache, gazeti la Chama cha Kijamaa (Chinese Communist Party)-People’s Daily lilichapisha hati inayosema kuwa maudhui ya LGBT hayapaswi kufananishwa na maudhui ya hovyo, kidhalimu au ya kingono, na pia Weibo ilitangaza kuwa uhamasishaji wake wa miezi mitatu hautahusisha tena maudhui ya LGBT.
