Lol at the idea prostitution is illegal in China. China has got to have more brothels per capita than anywhere on earth.

When I used to live in Shenyang (China's prostitution capital) I'd see police officers park right in front of a massage parlour next to my school. They'd get out of the car, take off their jackets and button-up shirts, and walk into the place in their gov-issued pants, boots, and wife-beaters. I don't know how things are now under Xi, but back then nobody cared about prostitution. The only time it was ever "enforced" was during Government crackdowns where they would make a big show of busting the businesses that bribed them the least. The only other time they would arrest people for prostitution was when someone was being set up, for blackmailing, or the beat cops wanted some extra pocket money.

In Shanghai we had pimps follow us right past some uniformed police in the upscale downtown area shouting their pitches, so I did get the distinct impression the cops didn't care. This was after Xi removed his term limits, I doubt it's changed much. Warbadger fucked around with this message at 14:09 on Jun 12, 2020 |

Yeah, prostitution is pretty rampant in China. Brothels running out of KTVs, phone cards for working girls slid under hotel doors, you can get sex for pay if you're looking for it in China. When I worked in the ESL mines in Fuzhou a couple of years ago, there were several brothels near my school, including one on the first floor of my apartment building. You could tell because the interior of it was this neon lit monstrosity and the girls were sitting around in scantily clad clothing burning time on their phones, waiting for customers. There was a Muslim restaurant right across the street from my place, so it made for good people watching. I used to know a sexpat colleague who would search through WeChats's people nearby function for girls. Apparently, if a girls moments gallery has a QR code and little else, she's a prostitute. Shadow0 posted:What's China's stance on homosexuality? I might have a partial solution. Being gay used to be declared a mental illness until 2001. However, Weibo banned LGBT topics in 2018 and the powers that be will censor any LGBT content from Movies and TV. When it comes to dating, there is Blued, which is Chinese Grindr. There are also barhhouses and Gay Bars in the Tier 1s.According to my gay co-worker at the time, being gay in China is like being gay in the UK in the 1970's, except you have a smartphone. It's looked down upon, but there are plenty of married dudes who want some dick on the side. He also told me that there is a CD/Trans scene in China, but they're all on Twitter.

hakimashou posted:Lol at the idea prostitution is illegal in China. Korea gives it a run for its money at least. As for gay rights, the government is regressive as hell but the population isn't. Like everywhere else, young people don't give a gently caress. My students were actually disappointed I wasn't gay because they liked Modern Family and wanted a gay friend. In Chengdu there are gay bars/clubs that operate right in the open and nobody cares. Chengdu is the San Francisco of China but still, if the government was interested in cracking down it wouldn't be hard. Life is hard for gay people there, all my male Chinese friends are gay and I have heard the stories. But you're not afraid for your life, and judging by the younger people things are changing in the right direction, no matter how much the olds in the Party want to keep cracking down on it. I think they'll eventually realize that's more trouble than it's worth and give up.

I recall hitting a KTV for a friend's birthday, super-legit hotel in the middle of town, and shortly after we got in the room, in comes the hostess with a line of girls to pick from. The Chinese guys in our group were all the happily, recently married type, and the foreigners weren't about to pay, so everyone just looked embarrassed and stared at walls/floor/ceiling/phone. The hostess clearly knee what was up by our reaction, and must have decided to have some fun, so then called in three more increasingly awkward lines of girls for our, uh, viewing pleasure. And seriously, that's a lot of girls to have on hand at a moment's notice. So imagine how... brisk business must be.

https://www.smh.com.au/world/asia/australian-sentenced-to-death-on-drug-charges-20200613-p5529h.html China taking it's spat with Australia a little more seriously than it did it's spat with Canada. Although still managing to follow the standard CCP playbook. step 1) tariffs etc. against exports. step 2) claim that said country is dirty, dangerous and full of racist incidents, and that tourists and/or international students should not go there. and now it's up to step 3) kidnap/imprison a citizen of said country. This time specifically it's a bloke who was busted in Guangzhou with 7.5 kilos of ice in 2013, but the government has coincidentally decided to now sentence him to death. Which has nothing to do with any sort of diplomatic spat between the countries, nor part of a tantrum China is throwing because of ScoMo backing an inquiry into the CCP's incompetence/malice in handling COVID-19. My guess is ScoMo will try to play the hard man, (i.e. double down on his 'filthy yellowskinned commos' rhetoric, trying to suck up to OranjMan) and will let this bloke die. That is unless the CCP just hold him on death row as a bargaining chip, which they are very likely to do.

The man has an iron stomach and has eaten meat from the Boer war and iirc American Civil War. The third one while it didn't make him sick it was so bland even he found it overall unenjoyable. This is his 4th Chinese ration so it was a surprise it was OK and he still felt like throw a burn or two at it which he almost never does. Unless you consider eBay or his friends the black market... The first 2 was around the time there was a scandal where Chinese soldiers were filmed trying to eat terrible rice out in the field made with sub par water as they weren't given proper rations for reasons. Given the lack of drat they give I expect it was straight corruption rather than they were bad and had to get rid of them. I am not sure if it is still true, but they have been used as cheap labour to work on farms etc for the commander/officials for $$$.

It's technically illegal to sell US MREs too but they're available everywhere. I would guess the PLA ones show up the same way. You can walk into any army surplus store in China (they do have them, they're not uncommon) and pick up PLA rations. It wouldn't be hard to crack down on the sale if anyone cared enough.

Remember that Chinese researcher who got kicked out of Canada's only biosafety level 4 lab? She sent the samples to the disease research laboratory in Wuhan across from the wet market where COVID 19 originated.Amir Attaran, a law professor and epidemiologist at the University of Ottawa posted:"We have a researcher who was removed by the RCMP from the highest security laboratory that Canada has for reasons that government is unwilling to disclose. The intelligence remains secret. But what we know is that before she was removed, she sent one of the deadliest viruses on Earth, and multiple varieties of it to maximize the genetic diversity and maximize what experimenters in China could do with it, to a laboratory in China that does dangerous gain of function experiments. And that has links to the Chinese military." But also bungling on the Canadian side of things: quote:Meanwhile, it appears the NML's shipper initially planned to send the viruses in inappropriate packaging and only changed it when the clients in China flagged the problem.

So when are we going to stop all this engagement BS and enter the next cold war? This is really getting out of control. Not only do we share far fewer values with China than we did the Soviets, they gives even less of a drat with how they treat anyone or anything.
