/a/ told me yuri was banned in China, though.

Unless I'm wrong, it doesn't matter as long as there's no explicit sex or kissing or anything.
Even if it happens, apparently it's enough with them adding a huge white bar/blur to censor it.

Usually there's 2 versions of the story.

The mainland version is censored and focuses on subtext. The Taiwan version is uncensored (and easy to get back in the mainland).

Taiwan versions are the basis for international releases. Due to the mainland version censoring stuff, there's usually a bigger focus on story as they still need to work as a novel even when the gay is removed

Most men don't care about homoerotic romance as much as women do, especially when it's written as a novel. So unless it attracts a large female audience, the answer is no.

Baihe is not banned neither is lesbian or gays kissing, but most publishers censor kissing, some even heterosexual kissing because they never know what the CCP will do next, better than having to retroactively censor all your works later. Porn is however banned and authors will get arrested if they do it, recently lots of yaoi authors who crossed this line got arrested.

Baihe audience is mostly men, the manliest men of them all which are the chinese obviously.

Yaoi sells like hotcakes in America. Meanwhile yuri sells like shit and the only reason they keep bringing yuri titles is for evading accusations of lesbophobia

Those are small companies, they don't have the money to pay for licenses that don't sell. Yaoi sells more than yuri but it doesn't sell that much either, the yaoi licenses are dirty cheap because they don't come from the usual publishers while yuri licenses come from the usual publishers, since they pay the license for each volume and some yaoi series they license are one or two volumes, some yuri series may even be the equivalent of 7-10 yaoi series.
