China tries crack down on sex-in-saunas industry by requiring IDs

[enterp34]

BEIJING - Clients who stay overnight in saunas and massage parlors in southern China can no longer do so anonymously, the China Daily newspaper said Tuesday.


Authorities in the city of Guangzhou are now requiring sauna clients to show their ID and register their personal information to try to limit China's booming sex trade, as well as prevent criminal suspects from hiding out, the paper said. The change came into force Monday.

Many massage parlors and saunas in China are fronts for brothels. The government has also cracked down on them in Beijing before the start of the Olympic Games next month.

"Some of these health centers have become dens of iniquity in past years owing to an absence of efficient supervision and management," He Jing, deputy director of the security bureau of Guangzhou, capital of booming Guangdong province, was quoted as saying.

The rule affects those going to massage parlors and saunas from 1 a.m. to 8 a.m., the paper said. Investigators will be regularly dispatched to enforce the rule.

Penalties will range from warning to revocation of business licenses, the newspaper said.

"On average, 100 clients stay overnight at our sauna center every day throughout the year. During peak periods, such as the biannual trade fair, as many as 300 clients stay overnight," a sauna proprietor surnamed Dong, was quoted as saying. A first name was not given.

"But last night when the regulation came into force, only 60 people stayed," he said.

with China's current economic rise and modernisation,
it's a pity more MMs are turning to this fast money trade ???

yes indeed China in its ancient times do has its brothels trade
but there was long ago. With current rise and modernisation,
is this the only way out?

all boils down with materialism to earn fast money.

5000 years of civilization all goes down the drain ??? !!!

Aiyoh... Prostitution is the longest surviving industry... China have been doing it eons ago... I just hope the Ang-Moh dont invade them like Thailand..if not there will be more STD problems....

Got a frd who explained that most of the STD are brought in by the West.. thats why Thailand is having so much problem..

This Olympic very troublesome.. I just hope it ends quickly... Countdown to the END of Olympics...

I think it is very unlikely for China to become another ang moh paradise like Thailand. First of all it's the language barrier. Secondly Thailand is a very friendly and hospitable country and the commercial sex scene can at least converse in some English unlike China.

bro tony ... it could happen .. not now but in the near future ... and also depending on the cities in china ...

i saw some farangs in JYTY in my last trip ...
courtesy of HK cheongsters ....

when i was in shanghai, i saw many farangs ... either they r tourists or they r working in shanghai ...
language is not a big barrier .. it can be easily overcome especially english ...
just a matter of time ...

Actually one reason is that Thai guys like to do it raw also and so it gets passed around.
