If you're dumb like me you might think this graph is of China's own gold holdings but it has nothing to do with that. This is apparently about China boosting their own exchange venue for gold and encouraging other central banks to store some of their gold in China
This is an idealist position. Pursuing progressive social policy beyond what the public demands is not the priority for any revolutionary movement. We are talking about a country where al Qaeda controls half of the territory. The fact is that LGBTQ identities are seen as western decadence by many people in the global south.
The criteria for success for the revolution is whether they can consolidate political power or not. Everything else is secondary. How long did it take Cuba to come around?

This is of course frustating but it is the path they chose. It's not just a matter of foreign policy but the direction of the country as a whole. The Soviet economy was decoupled from the west and existed as a parallel system for countries to break free from western hegemony, which is why they could support national liberation movements everywhere. It's also why after the USSR fell countries across the world dropped Marxism-Leninism for social democracy or worse. China on the other hand is wholly integrated into the global economy and does not have that same capacity.
