hahahaha. Not blaming westerners, genius. No morality, no humanity, badly governed one-party country, no sexual equality, no sexual openness... these reasons and many more are why there are so many whores. This seems to exist in a whole host of countries. Not sure if I can equate one-party country to prostitution. Good lord, you're a judgemenal bastard. -observer

Guest #10 - interesting way to blame westerners for China's problem. What % of whores in China do you think are visited by westerners? MAYBE 1% if that? No morality, no humanity, badly governed one-party country, no sexual equality, no sexual openness... these reasons and many more are why there are so many whores.

Brilliant analysis, nanhe! I'd love to hear what convoluted reasoning you have for the rampant prostitution in South Korea or South Africa. The explosion in pregnancies or lack of a one-child policy in Africa doesn't seem to help their situation. Tough situation- no population control, prostitution. Too many restrictions, prostitution. Guess what the number one market for the sex-industry is? What does it say about the Western sex tourists. We all know what all these expat men are here for- "culture". Guess its better to shit in someone else's country than your own. - observer

you are young and "pretty", and can't or don't want to find a job, that's the easy way out. let people be less money-oriented

But China is developing so this means they can act like savages and still feel good about themselves. China is so backwards it's ridiculous. A different universe but they think they are so fucking great.

Why do i get the feeling that China will become the next Africa for the Aids epidemic? And we know what will happen next.. disease, famine, strife, war...

#5; While it is true that the world's oldest profession has lots of sources of "inspiration" for why people get started in it, massive gender imbalance will and is making women/girls a commodity to be traded and there will be no escape. nanheyangrouchuan

Lamb Skewer - Criticism of China has many many places, but I really think trying to blame Ah-V's plight on anything but poverty and harsh circumstances (as opposed to anything cultural) is a slippery slope. Otherwise, who is to blame for the blight of crack whores in East St. Louis, Baltimore, Gary Indiana? Bad United States? Amsterdam? New Oreleans? Calcultta? Snake Alley? Thailand? The world is full of sad prostitution stories, surely there's no reason that Ah-V's story (true or not) has anything particular to do with China. Nah, just awful circumstances.

Regardless of whether or not these pictures are fake. The fact that China has a sex trade problem is obvious and stories like this are not unplausible. Something needs to be done, not just for sake of public health, but for the development of the Chinese social mentality. If it is left to continue generations of Chinese women will grow up with prostitution around them as a daily thing, and those of them who become desperate will become more and more likely to turn to a life of prostitution as it becomes more socially prevelant. While my heart goes out to these women the Chinese government needs to be EXTREMELY strict on the matter. Its a case of love the criminal hate the crime.

fake video? Possible Real? Also as likely and more so. Thanks to the CCP's wise population planning and ancient Chinese (and Asian) traditional practices, this type of story will become very common. The UN may need to evacuate all of China's women to save them from a life of slavery and prostitution. Bad, bad China. nanheyangrouchuan
