No, they don't go against that. Trying to focus on a present snapshot rather than contextualize a process that exists as something constantly changing is metaphysics. Tomorrow, China's queer rights will be a bit better than today, if we have the same conversation tomorrow but only view it as another snapshot then we will reach a point where you say "China good" and this will all have been forseeable had we analyzed it as something in motion, rather than static.
