I think this started from China's defeat by India when Chinese troops tried to ambush India's troops at the border. The Indian troops didn't have weapons, as per agreement to meeting with the Chinese to discuss an agreement.
There was a sudden realization after that that the one-child policy had made Chinese men spoiled as kids and wimps when they grew up. After that, the CCP wanted to eliminate the effeminate behavior of their males.
In case it wasn't known, men in China carry Louis Vuitton male purses and also use make up. Also, I know of friends who married mainland Chinese husbands who complain their husband takes more time dressing up than they do.

And note, this doesn't apply for all men in China. But there's a sizeable population that is like this.
