Britney's Piers Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Prostitutes blamed for property bulge By Wu Zhong, China Editor HONG KONG - Prostitution is illegal in China, but the police crackdowns recently launched across the country indicate that the "world's oldest profession" is doing as well as ever. In Beijing, there are reportedly so many xiaojie (mistresses) that state media claim their numbers have driven up housing prices. After efforts to "physically and spiritually" cleanse Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, prostitution has made a big comeback, so much so that municipal police launched a citywide "strike hard" vice crackdown in April entitled "Operation 4.11". Coincidentally, in line with central government policy, the municipal government has also began taking measures (so far in vain) to bring down the city's skyrocketing housing prices. The two crackdowns, one on social vices and the other on housing prices, seem unrelated. But a May 14 editorial in the Beijing Evening News, a sister publication of the Beijing Daily - the mouthpiece of the Communist Party's Beijing municipal committee - made an imaginative link between the two. The article argued that a (downward) turning point in Beijing's property market could be achieved if prostitutes were driven out of the city. Skeptics say the article's flawed reasoning suggests that Beijing authorities are scrambling for a scapegoat for their failure to bring the property market under control. http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/LE26Ad01.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_ichikawa Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/LE26Ad01.html Lies! There is no prostitution in China at all. There are however rather a large number of Barbershops lit with red light bulbs where the prefered attire of the women is uber short miniskirts super high heels and low cut tops. Also an incredible number of hotels whereby there are uncomplimentary vaginal washes and ***** wash sachets everywhere and phone calls in the night asking if you want a massage. http://news.jongo.com/articles/07/0511/15044/MTUwNDQmJog9BeN.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

interestrateripoff Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 http://news.jongo.com/articles/07/0511/15044/MTUwNDQmJog9BeN.html "What is she trying to say?" I asked myself. A big airplane? What's that got to do with massage?Reacting to the frown on my face, Ding made a hand motion to clarify what she meant. "Oh, so that's what you call it in China," I said. "Ok, let's give it a go, then." Ding helped me take my airplane out of the hangar, before suddenly shouting at her colleague in the cubicle next door to come and assist her. The curtain opened suddenly and in popped another mini-skirted hairstylist. "Look at this," said Ding to her friend. "It's very unusual, isn't it. Wow!" I'm very proud of my manhood, but felt a tad embarrassed at all the attention it was getting. It was like the whole massage parlour knew my business and was spreading the word. And when a sweaty fifty-something male client with an even sweatier comb-over stuck his head into the cubicle for a look, I decided I'd had enough. I pulled my trousers back up and made for the door. No happy end for me. Johnny Pryce had better luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6538 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/LE26Ad01.html This is nothing new though. Isn't it the case that large areas of London (and indeed many European cities) were built directly by the proceeds of prostitution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostitution is one of the biggest trades in places like Bradford... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
