We need to cut through all the BS and propaganda, beneath all the slick soft power and CCP sympathizing, the people of China are facing real problems and if anyone points them out they are immediately attacked and huge collaborative efforts are made to silence them.

I died after the "poisoned dragon thing". Well it is really sad but this fire and ice thing ill try it with my gf xD. It reminded me of philipnes a lil bit coz yea families and stories like that exist there as well. I mean if i would be a 30 y old guy with a house ill probably buy some girls out of slavery if it is not crazy expensive.
Having a popular, acceptable illegal activity is a wonderful leash around the necks of your citizens. Easy way to slander and lock someone away without much public pushback.
@Daniel Mendozkevich He's also trying to portray this as some type of mass coercion; its absolute rubbish. Most prostitutes I see in China are in their 20s-30s and there out of their own choice; I explicitly asked them about that, not teenage girls forced into the industry by their family. While the later does exist, they in no ways represent the industry as a whole and has nothing to do with the CCP anymore than illegal prostitution or drug activities are the result of government policies anywhere on the planet. The culprits are their scum of a parent who are greedy for money and will do anything to get that.
Your comment reminds me of a weibo (basically the Chinese Twitter) fight I read. The fight was between a celebrity who named Luo Yong-hao and some kind of patriotic guy. The dude wrote: you don’t deserve to be a Chinese citizen. Then Luo reply: Fine, then I wish you will still be a Chinese in your next life. (Most Chinese believe in reincarnation stuff)
@@michaeltoner1993 I watched his channel around 2011 before I went to China for work. His channel was very informative and he never mentioned anything about 'these poor Chinese people that I care so much about'. Only after his channel got more click bait he switched to this style of content. It's just disingenuous how he acts now.
That young girl's story is heartbreaking. To think there are millions more stories like hers in China is both devastating and enraging. It is truly a fallen world.
**the world has fallen** what a ridiculous idea, unless you believe we humans were in Eden at some point there's been no time in history were things were *good*.
I am a Chinese and lived in Shenzhen more than for 20 years, I heard many similar stories as you described it. Now I am living in Sydney but I was watching your video I felt so sorry and sadness for these kind of girls who are living like this lifestyle . You showed a real dark side of China to your fans.
He's completely exaggerating. Hookers are common in China, but the vast majority of them do it cause its easy money. Those who are forced by their families are only a small handful. I know this as a regular visitor of sex workers in China, even dating a few of them.
@@markemailonly3114 Uh huh. Are most of them just college girls working their way through college? That's what strippers say, too. Before they negotiate with you..
@@markemailonly3114I was thinking the same thing… When he mentioned people would travel from Hong Kong, where I used to live, I was like “why?”… Hong Kong has similar places, but if you are decent looking, and under 45, just hit the Lan Kwai Fong area and it is easy to hook up with a normal woman in her late 20s early 30s for just a few drinks and cab fare!
Actually, if you complain to the hotel management and threaten to call the cops about the hooker cards, the hotel will usually apologise and offer you a discount. I have tried and it worked!
I just recently rediscovered your channel. I found interesting the first go around, but now I have started really paying attention to the detail you put out with your content and I’m seeing it through a new set of glasses as it were. I’m watching your new postings as well as going back through your old stuff. Thanks and keep it up.
What he says is pretty much true. I was born in china and I remember when a woman came up to my dad and tried to take him away when my mom was right next to him.
Its true china has a lot of hookers, but its absolute BS that most of them are forced. None of the prostitutes I spoke with in China were forced. They are doing it cause its easy money.
@SWGamer Gaming Whats your point? Are you suggesting they lied to me? Why do you think they haven't lied to Winston? I actually dated 4 prostitutes from China; they are NOT forced lol. In fact one of them is telling me the CCP recent crackdown on prostitution is affecting her business, that's her living. I know a friend of mine who dated a hooker and she was send by her family to work at a bar. But that's like maybe less than 1/30 cases, and even she wasn't really "forced," the chick was sent to work at a bar, and decided to sell herself after getting there. No one forced her to do that.
@@markemailonly3114 You really sound like a john trying to exonerate themselves from moral quandaries related to their activities. SWGamer Gaming says people lie, especially those who's job is faking interest in hundreds of men. That you've referred to your activities as dating shows you're either super idealistic full on rose coloured glasses or that you're willing to create whatever narratives paint things in the best possible light.
@@mysticonthehill You speak a lot for someone who has no idea what I have done; here is a suggestion, how about asking? Now read carefully. Yes, I dated them, in the sense that I made them either my girlfriend or fuck buddies without paying, or turning them into that after seeing them. I know far more about their background than Winston; speaking of which, hookers might have also lied to him to gain sympathy, which is also a common tactic. As or moral quandaries, I'm not going to go into the details of other issues; the issue at hand is whether these hookers are forced, and they are absolutely not (not including the rare cases of some teenage girl forced by their family to go work, which is a family issue, not the issue of the industry). It's an simply an easy money-making job
Most of the married women also know that their husband has a mistress, but accept it as long as he gives her money. Sad and depressing state of affairs.
Same as in Japan, I watched an AsianBoss video, you can look it up, they interviewed women, what they think about their boyfriend/husband/partner cheating or paying for sex, they said "As long as he doesn't develop emotions for that woman I can forgive him", so yeah, it's not only in China.
Thank you for caring about the plight of women. It’s really disheartening how rare it seems to be to find men who view these practices with the abject horror and sympathy that they so definitively warrant. Three girls and women are being coerced at best and literally raped constantly at worst. Anyone who would take advantage of the desperation of these impoverished women is scum. Thank you for sharing your insight. You are a compassionate man and I appreciate you greatly.
@@RedRabbit1983 unless we're talking about the rare cases where the women want to live that life then it should be legal, like in Germany where it's regulated. Although I suppose you can make a case that maybe they need a psychiatrist or therapist to sort them out..
I was a student in China 1990 -1992, at an Overseas Chinese university. One of the Chinese students there was funding her study and living costs by doing prostitution work with visiting Taiwanese businessmen. It was generally known on campus, but she wasn't ostracized or penalised in anyway. It just wasn't talked about openly.
A survey found that prostitutes were considered more trustworthy than government officials. Overall prostitutes ranked third on the list of professions behind farmers and religious workers.
My dad visited China back in the 2010s, and my disgusting cousin took him to Shenzhen for some “bro time” at a karaoke. Then the girls come in and the men started to take their pick and off they go with the women. Now my dad was the old one who didn’t wanna participate with the “sauna activities” mainly because he left China right before all these disgusting things happen over there and he lived in HK and then later immigrated. He was just visiting and to him he prefers one of those old fashioned pure girls and those girls were not for him. He wanted to just pay for the girl and tell her to go home after she begged and said I need to feed my family. Then my disgusting cousin walked in and said what’s wrong and he said he’s not interested and told him he’s gonna pay the girl her taxi so she could go home safely. Then my cousin dragged the girl outside and started to slap her around. He’s not her pimp, he bought the place and the girls for some “bro time”. He’s like how could you let him down like this, go back in and make him happy! My dad got really scared and he waited my cousin to go in with a girl then quietly took her outside the karaoke bar and paid her extra to go home. That was my image of what my cousin is and it rocked me after I heard this from dad years later😢.
yeah that happens often lol. not long ago there was a chinese professor got arrested for criticizing ccp in the pandemic, all his family said he was in beijing the whole time but the police insists he was in hunan province and was "playing with prostitutes" lol
CCP doesn't like officers too clean to be controlled by them. To get in the "club", you have to networking with others. We all know what politicians like: luxury life, sex, etc. You have to join them, do these illegal activities along with them. Later if you pick the wrong side in political event, they can get these evidence out and send you to jail "lawfully".
Sex can be used by any government as black mail because it's a grey area of the law. Think about what that whole Epstein thing was about. Definite CIA or Mossad involvement there. Likely others too if you think about it. Makes me wonder who Harvey Weinstein actually pissed off.
I am an overseas Chinese... watching this is depressing. The livelihood of Chinese in their newfound adopted lands are most often not "ideal". But their livelihood in their own motherland is appalling. The families of beautiful rural area sold / sell their daughters to prostitutions and slavery..... What a loving family and parents.
dark? give me a break, its sexual freedom. The CCP might as well legalize it and set an age limit to administrate it. As for mistreated, most hookers in China I talked to are doing it cause its easy money, in fact they are complaining that they are losing customers because of the recent crackdown by Xi Jinping on this industry. The vast majority of the whores are NOT victims.
@@markemailonly3114 I see that you're everywhere in the comment section trying to brush the issue away just because some are willingly doing it doesn't meant that "girls sold by their family" did not happen, doesn't means that there's no victim here, doesn't mean Winston's friend's girlfriend's story is invalid. Give us a break and take your sexual freedom excuse away.
@@anasmadani5217Some are doing it willingly? How about substitute the word some with the vast majority? Who denied the existence of parents introducing teenage girls？ That's not what I am calling out BS on buddy. Winston literally said: "MOST of these girls have no choice. This is an illegal enterprise in China. A lot of them were tricked or coerced into being prostitutes. And that is why I am making this video, we need to raise awareness." He is purposely misrepresenting prostitution in China as if its some industry of oppression. It's simply bullshit. Just like prostitution anywhere else; the vast majority of hookers are doing it for easy money. The prostitution industry itself doesn't force anyone to work there, the rare cases of young girls sent by parents are the faults of abusive parents sending their kids and hiding their age.I've talked to no less than 20 hookers from Saunas to pink lights, all of them came because friends introduced them through some "auntie". Parents "forcing" teenage kids to work are very rare (I personally have never seen them, I only heard one of my friends said he met one, and she was not exactly coerced either, just influenced) and such rare phenomenons are entirely the problem of the parents, and can happen to any job, not just prostitution, and is not the direct problem of the industry itself or the CCP. Stop blaming it on the government or the industry and ignoring the real culprits. Also, the CCP is currently cracking down hard on prostitution, and I hear several prostitutes complaining that they are losing jobs, "Excuse" my ass. If anything, cracking down prostitution is whats oppressive to both the hookers and the customers and China should legalize prostitution and manage it better.
@@markemailonly3114 You’re right. These girls and most freelancer that i know enjoy a good life. In modern society and in big cities. Prostitution isn’t a dirty profession anymore. Hookers openly offer sex service online. Some are setting high prices too. They feel financial freedom. Some are nympho maniacs and earn a lot of money at the same time. Chinese hookers are hot and most have natural boobs
@@kyqorioskygo8999 Western feminists don't realize that hypergamy and gold-digging are much more tolerated in China and there is virtually no shaming on gold diggers (considered natural). A Chinese girl can literally walk into a KTV or sauna, work for just a day to get a few thousand yuan and go back to their normal life without anyone finding out about it, it's that easy to make money. Eventually, they will marry some beta men somewhere who will never find out about their past. Winston gets the entire narrative wrong. The CCP is trying to curb this recently, not encouraging it and if anything its harming the hookers' means of living.
Great point you make about giving a voice to China's voiceless. They literally could not speak up themselves like this without fear of arrest. It's not "disrespecting China"; it's showing how the CCP is ruling China.
Goodness I hope Little Moon (Sorry if it's disrespectful to call her that) managed to escape that hell. I was hoping to hear a happy ending but I guess that's not reality. I can't imagine what goes through the mind of someone who was just sold by their own family. Thank you for sharing the story. I do wish for things to change for the better.
Wow, heartbreaking indeed. I lived in Shanghai from 1995 to 2014. At first I never saw any signs of prostitution. Although I was actually propositioned once in 1995, I didn't realize that's what was happening until much later, it was so subtle. Fast forward to 2006 or so, and I could not even walk down Nanjing Lu in the evening without being propositioned repeatedly (once I was propositioned six times in one block) with "Girls girls girls" or "Hot sex" even as families sat around witnessing the whole thing. It was really sick and depraved.
The part starting at 0:01 of this video where all of the women were lining up brought me flashbacks to what happened to me out of nowhere when I was in Thailand too. A lot of things said in the video is VERY true about Thailand.
That kid at 13:38 thought he could get away with littering. But now we got it on camera and can report it to the authorities. His social credit is going to take a hit.
Winston: Never have I seen prostitution so openly out in public anywhere else in the world... Me: Guess he's never been to Pattaya Thailand. Winston: Outside of red-light districts in Thailand. Me: Ah there it is.
Very very sad what is happening to these young girls. Thank you for shining the light on this horror. I hope some day this treatment of these women truly comes to an end.
Wow, too bad you could not find that girl. It would haunt me. I was in a similar situation during my life decades ago and knew a girl like that. She was so so sweet and nice, and I always worried about her throughout my life. I thought she was probably dead, but 40 years later after looking for her, I found her alive, well, and married with kids, and that made me so happy. Otherwise, I would have helped her if she needed help.
@@youngmensdailywisdom99 I met her in 8th grade, then I went to High School the following year, but she was not there. I would periodically see her around town. She was a real nice girl with a big heart, but was abused.
I lived in China for 6 months. When I first got there I stayed at a hotel in Beijing because the following day we were to get a ride to Huangshi. The moment I stepped into the lobby a cabby asked me if I wanted a beautiful girl for the night. I declined. The moment I got into my room, literally the absolute second, the phone rang and I was asked if I wanted a massage, I also declined. The next 4 months in my first trip to China was in Huangshi and every night I would get a call asking if I wanted to get a massage. Right outside the hotel there were brothels on the bottom floor of all the buildings for the next block up and the girls would actively try to get you to go in. One time I was actually grabbed by one when I was carrying groceries back to my hotel and they tried to yank me in to the brothel. Everything you say is true in my experience in China. Prostitution is everywhere in China.
Casper Wang was right,man. If you come across such things, probably because you have chosen a very cheap accommodation, you fell into a scam. If you live in a decent place, then these scams will not find you, bro.
@@kozmongao9002 & @Trisha Xuk You are both wrong. I stayed in some upmarket hotels in both Shenzhen and Shanghai (Sheraton and Marriott) I still saw these cards. The worst was when you left the hotel. People would constantly approach you with these cards and other offers.
@@kevinstanton3529 I think it's in most places these days. This is why I was joking that upgrading hotel will only upgrade those services being offered, from just paper cards, to laminated ones 😉
@@lkmetro8223 it was observed by some classmates of mine that had some chinese girlfriends and some chinese female classmates dint knew why exactly (Probably dint want to tell why) but did so after a western friend. Maybe we prever it that way and they can get behind the hygene reasons.
Yeah but I feel like a lot more is known or can be assumed about the police brutality so this topic is more interesting in comparison to that but also what ^ said. Lol
With the things in hong kong right now, its more common of knowledge about how bad the "police" are :\ and due to censorship you dont really see news about prostitution in china at all. and also sexy girls in thumb nails grabs ppl's attention :P
They have the same cards in Las Vegas. My first time there I went around collecting them and made up a game called Battle Hoes. Can't wait to start collecting in China lol.
My sister and I stayed in Chao Yang district in Beijing in 2007 for a week. The apartment complex had security guard but every time we came back from site seeing the city, we would find 4-5 prostitution cards slip under the door.
Chaoyang isn't even bad. There were famous sections in Beijing. One section is for the foreigners, one section for the locals. I don't want to list the district because a lot of young americans go just for that. But yeah, I speak fluent Chinese, lived in Taiwan, China, Vietnam and other places. What I saw was very sad.
@@gruanger in the University district some of the richer students from another Asian country were taking hookers on the daily, I was shocked. WuDaoKou area
I lived in Seoul for years and scooter drivers go around whipping cards everywhere offering hookers. Once I got hit in the head with one while walking down the street. Maybe it was a sign from God that I should have called the number, but being a Puritan I decided to ignore it.
I'm Asian growing up in America I would get countless caucasian men and other men wanted to have sex but being a puritan I quit dating and just ignore them all.
It's not a women's right issue, it's the byproduct of capitalism. In capitalism everyone is a product including women. China is the most capitalist society by far.
Thanks, Winston, for covering this! Unfortunately, I saw all of this during my upbringing in East & Southeast Asia as the young daughter of a Japanese-American expat family. Needless to say, I was shocked when I came to the United States as a teenager & the only rhetoric I heard was that the US is an “oppressively patriarchal society” - of which I could not disagree with more given what I saw growing up & the young women that I met. There are problems in the U.S. of course, but still, I feel most grateful. There is trouble everywhere & I truly hope videos like this will contribute to a better & clear perceiving world.
Thank you again, for another brilliant insight into the Chinese culture. Winston is a hero to the Chinese people. By shining a light into the dark corners that the CCP doesn't want us to see, we can understand the corruption, and how it manifests itself in what we are 'allowed' to see in the news. Thank you Winston. Stay awesome.
I don’t agree with a lot of political issues that he says anymore but when it’s about social issues, it’s very real and is a problem. So that I applaud him for.
This is so sad. I went to a strip club once when I turned 21(not in china) but I was amazed how many girls told me they were "on call" or that they are basically being pimped. I just felt sick to my stomach and I told myself ill never go back to a strip club again, been nearly 10 years since then. So many beautiful, bright young women that could start a beautiful family and have a fruitful life just becoming slaves to drugs, sex and money... truly sad.
Man, that “漫游” means a girl licking your body all over. Like from your neck all the way down to your legs, often with some water in her mouth, and making some noises along the process. Please don’t ask why I know this.
I worry about the dam also, but I think maybe it might be overblown by a segment of the media that wants it to collapse. Also it would seem that the flooding is pretty significant even with the dam remaining intact
@@joshlewis575 Plenty of junk made in every other country as well. It wouldn't take but a few seconds of searching to find scores of bridge and dam failures in the USA or other countries.
Loukah Three gorges will never collapse. You know why? Because ccp built three gorges dam, if it collapsed, it is a slap right at their face. They would do anything to prevent it from collapse, not matter how many lives will be lost downstream. Right now the dam is releasing megatons of water to overflow the down stream villages so that it will never collapse.

Taiwan used to be like this, back in the days of single-party rule. Prostitution was technically illegal, but universally tolerated (and exploited for illicit gains) by the authorities to the extent that, as a visiting foreign businessman, for example, it was impossible to enjoy a relaxing beer at a hotel bar without being approached with "offers", and, yes, there were the cards under the door every night when you got back to the hotel. Just about every men's hair salon was a front for a brothel, as were numerous hot spring spas, massage parlors, and KTV (karaoke) joints. This all came to an end in the 1990's when Taiwan reformed its political system from single-party police state (sound familiar?) into a multi-party democracy with an independent justice system. With democracy came a widespread renaissance in civic engagement by ordinary citizens - temples, churches, and parents groups formed political alliances that supported candidates for office that pledged to take action against prostitution, the mafia and corrupt police. It worked. Not to say prostitution is completely gone (it never is), but it has been driven seriously underground. Now when businessmen close a deal, they go out for hot pot!
@@jakeblanton6853 I'd say the opposite - nowadays you have a very large middle class, and they have elected legislators and executives to their government who have cleaned up the place, so to speak. You can go to a hotel bar and there are no mei-mei's there looking for a sugar daddy, just regular people on dates, groups of office workers having a social time, and even families! I like that a lot better than the sleazy, misogynistic past.
Yes, it was. And as corrupt as China is now. I lived there from the late 70s to early 80s. I was a student so wasn't involved in that as It was mostly a tourist or older expat kind of thing to do. But we all knew about it. Over the years, returning to Taiwan, it has gotten better and better. Both the people and society as a whole. A lot of the transactional aspects of relationships have changed. I also spend a lot of time on the mainland, and it reminds me a lot of what Taiwan was like "back in the bad old days".
@@jakeblanton6853 Exactly! Everything has two sides. China was way more fun when it was the wild west back when Winston actually lived here. Now it is all cleaned up but pretty boring for many reasons compared to then.
By the way, that was not a pimp with Winston at the table. He's a friend and they were talking about the prostitution advertising. It's in another video.
Very thoughtfully done... I think one of the things I like about your videos is that it's obvious you are a compassionate person and that your Chinese experience affected you very deeply. I don't sense malice in your representations/videos but a sincere concern for the people that live under severe government control... I have watched 3 or 4 videos in a row and could have put this comment on any of them. I think that says a lot about your character and content.
I spent a few days in Shanghai years ago and I couldn't walk anywhere at night (sometimes daytime) without being given one of these cards. A work friend and I were even propositioned at pretty much any bar we visited. The people who do this are annoyingly persistent, often requiring us to leave in order to get away. It really turned me off from ever visiting China again. It is quite ridiculous this is openly allowed to happen.
Winston, you have once again picked an interesting topic. When I lived in Japan in the 1990s we noticed those same type "cards" that they put under your door in China in phone booths & around certain districts in Ikebukuro & Shinjuku. The love hotels and other "full" service places such as "Soapland" are not too far away from schools & the like. Interestingly, last year I didn't see any of those cards in Tokyo...
My friends from South Korea tell me that prostitution works the same way there, and even the “services” you’ve listed in the end are the exact same. The only difference is that Korea might be a bit cleaner.
I worked in Shenzhen - advertising in 1995. I was one of a handful of westerners there. Then i had blonde hair and blue eyes, i was like a pop star on tour and i found everyone so very nice and friendly. Yes girls lined the streets at night and we referred to it as a chocolate box. Anyway i married a chinese lady whom i still married to today. Fantastic experience - love Shenzhen!
This is like the social acceptance of slavery in the U.S. in the 1600 and 1700. You're born into a society that openly accepts these things and absent some internal awakening or external force pushing for change it continues. It's heartbreaking and as a father of three daughters you wish you could rescue them. Thanks for sharing this eye opening insight into what life is like for many young girls in China.
Reminds me A friend of mine once took me a massage place like a big plaza it seems Norm but their was something really weird I went to the room where it says massage room in Chinese, a beautiful lady come in she introduce her self to meh and she gave me a rope asked me to take off my clothes and put on short...Long story short she asked to to touch my winner and then asked me after we Done the massage we Gonna do the magic, Never happened btw! Ask me why cuz we had convo and she told me she had 7 yr old boy and she is supporting him to go to school I was student by myself I knew what parent providing their child would take, I gave have her 300RMB about $50 her manager didn’t know I gave her money! she assume I was asking her to go out or something but I explained her why I’m giving her money she cried I tried to comfort her. Nothing less she was okay, later my friend And I have asked some questions why these women put them selves position like this we All agree they were hustling! A real hustlers!!
@@hhhhh81 I defend your right to do business with a willing prostitute. I'm just sad if that is your best option. But if you are Chinese, I understand that the bad One-Child policy of the evil Chinese government has done this to you.
@@jamesstrawn6087 It's a matter of individual liberty. If a woman is not being coerced in to prostitution, if she is really engaging in the activity voluntarily, then she has a right to offer sex for money. And if a man wants to pay for sex, and is not married, then he is his right to do so. Our job, as right-thinking people, is to persuade both of them that it is not a good idea, not in their own interest to engage in prostitution. But we may not resort to force to stop their peaceful, consensual commerce. And making prostitution illegal is using force to violate their rights to liberty. Furthermore, making prostitution illegal is not effective at reducing prostitution, and has many unintended negative social consequences.
"I was taking the kids out for a walk and the kids were picking these cards and showing them to me." Well, if that isn't the most awkward thing a kindergarden teacher will experience, I don't know what is.
Thank you for your endless insight into genuine culture of the Peoples’ Republic of China (PRC)🇨🇳 . You and China Uncensored are exceptional sources for information about the Peoples’ Republic of China (PRC)🇨🇳!
Thank you for raising awareness for this worldwide problem. Prostitution is modern day slavery, nothing more. People who glamorize it and refer to prostitutes as consenting sex workers don't have a clue.
Great comment, "sex work" is the ultimate worldwide sex trafficking scheme that reels in millions of vulnerable girls who were dealt a bad hand early on. I've had a friend groomed into doing porn, she is still convinced she is happy but no doubt it will end terribly for her sooner or later. Poor girl is being sold off like a consumable object and has been groomed into believing that's fine
You thought business man go to KTVs to sing Taylor Swift songs? But yah what Winston is talking about is 15-10 years ago China now everything is online and hidden better from view. But also most places can only offer handjobs not sex "if it is a legal place"
My residence In Anhui Province was at the school where I taught. There was a KTV on the same block as the school which was a very busy place at night for all the local lovers😏 I found out that some of my students or their moms worked there. Wow, it was eye opening.
I hope your old friend is ok. I’m glad one of my friends got adopted from orphanage in Guangdong province at age of 7-9 month. It potentially saved her from a life like this. When I settle down with a family, I think I’ll adopt a child as well!
I'm an 🇺🇸 adoptive mom (from U.S. foster care system, not overseas). Proceed with caution & education -- that said, never more grateful for any decision in my life.
Your videos are wonderful. I've been subscribed for about a month now, and this is the most personal I think I've heard you talk. Your humanity is astounding, and I appreciate it as a blissful change in today's reporting, while also being honest and truthful to a degree many don't. I really do enjoy all your videos, thanks for the knowledge and your personality.
Hey Serpentza, so this one I actually agree with. Thanks for shedding light on this. The reason why boys are favored in the countryside is because when it's time for marriage, boys are the ones who stay with the parents (plus new family) so it's a retirement issue. You knew that, but I'd like to add this on. Many illegal things happen out in the open in China. Unfortunately, the same is true for many other countries. Ugh.
Totally agree with you. I lived in Guangzhou and it’s everywhere. Cards on the floor. Getting working girls come up to you on the street. Police do nothing even thou like you said it’s very illegal.
Yep, they should have left him there. at least then, he was neutral and positive: the negative ratio was 2:1. For the lesser part they kicked them off and now, china's face is getting torn.
When I heard the girl was sending money back to her family for her brother education, it make me realize how important it must be for them, high school student to pass the national entress exam. Their family sacrificed everything for their education.
I know that village you are talking about. Over the years I have heard many stories from that part of the city. Particularly there are many gangs in xiasha and shangsha who is feared by the people living there so a lot of these ilegal stuff gets sweeped under the rug. For an idea on the gang's power, I knew a teacher working at a school there who had one of the gang boss's son as a student. In this one time the kid was misbehaving and causing a lot of trouble, so the teacher tried to lecture the kid and he got MAD. So the kid pulled out a knife and chased this teacher around the school's track for hours and the school could do nothing about it. This is a pretty old story btw so gang presence there might not be as prevalent as it used to be. I haven't visted that part of town for a long time now so it surprised me when this sort of stuff is still happens there.
I wasn't going to watch this. But knowing serpentza is an honorable human, I knew it would not be in bad taste. Thank you for raising awareness of this problem. I will pray for the young lady. Love and light brother.
I’ve only seen trading cards similar to this on the Las Vegas Strip. They still didn’t shove them under the door, just people on the corners passing them out.
FWIW, I worked for a Japanese company and had to travel to Tokyo every month or so. Stayed at a nice hotel and had these cards under my door every night when I returned from work.
This is very interesting. Twenty years ago I took a trip across Russia on the Trans Siberian railway from Moscow to Irkutsk, then south to Mongolia and finally ending up in Beijing. The same night we arrived in Beijing we were walking on the crowded sidewalk near the hotel and out of nowhere some Chinese guy approached my brother and I and said in broken English: "Chinese woman, your hotel room, sex." I replied, "no," to which he responded, "Thank you." Then he immediately disappeared into the crowd.
Serpentza, thanks for the explanation. reminds me of walking along the strip in Vegas when the hawkers push the cards into your hands. Excellent information.
Can I repost a small clip of this video and then give you credit? I am trying to educate people about the truth of human trafficking...Thank you for sharing this!
Serpentza.. you are an undervalued TH-camr and should genuinely work as a diplomat for the US. Much of what I learn about China: good, bad, and the great comes from you. I appreciate you connecting me with this world. I hope to one day share your thoughts in a future podcast once I bring up my notoriety. Thank you, good sir.
@@cultofmalgus1310 actually, gathering was way more reliable than hunting success. So sorry to burst your bubble, women doing gathering sustained the group more than the hunter. What the hunter could bring was extra, which also was always good, but rarely the main food-source.
OMG - I am a black woman. About 30 years ago, I brought US companies to China for manufacturing - Guangdong, Dongguan, Shenzhen, etc. After a full day's work with the Chinese manufacturing company, the representatives of the US client, and my male Chinese-Canadian business partner, on more than one occasion, the China company took all of us to "clubs." In these clubs, young soldiers (I think they were soldiers) with rifles lined the entrance. They were all super smily and nice with me, but jeez - the rifles! Once up stairs, we were led by a hostess to a room with a karaoke setup, semi-couches lining the walls, chairs, and a few cocktail tables. Several young women in tight suits, cheap heels, and short skirts soon came in. They gave each of us their business "cards" in typical polite Chinese fashion (they looked like regular business cards). Well, these gals must have been thrilled that I was there - all they did was sing karaoke all night, with tipsy men (from the Chinese manufacturing companies and my US clients), and keep us all drinking. I knew something was "off", but in my naivety, I did not recognize that they were part of the club's "offering." My heart goes out to these young women. At least my being a female client saved them from an otherwise ugly night of work.
I live in Hefei and don't see the prostitution cards very often. But when visiting Suzhou I was handed a card just near a bar, one side was in Chinese and the other in English and pretty straightforward in what you could pay for. Pretty surprised to get given it.
We need to cut through all the BS and propaganda, beneath all the slick soft power and CCP sympathizing, the people of China are facing real problems and if anyone points them out they are immediately attacked and huge collaborative efforts are made to silence them.

I died after the "poisoned dragon thing". Well it is really sad but this fire and ice thing ill try it with my gf xD.

Having a popular, acceptable illegal activity is a wonderful leash around the necks of your citizens. Easy way to slander and lock someone away without much public pushback.
Insightful comment . The CCP are rat cunning.
A very external organ of the CCP fo find spies. They are the CCP CIA
Good comment
@Daniel Mendozkevich He's also trying to portray this as some type of mass coercion; its absolute rubbish. Most prostitutes I see in China are in their 20s-30s and there out of their own choice; I explicitly asked them about that, not teenage girls forced into the industry by their family. While the later does exist, they in no ways represent the industry as a whole and has nothing to do with the CCP anymore than illegal prostitution or drug activities are the result of government policies anywhere on the planet. The culprits are their scum of a parent who are greedy for money and will do anything to get that.
They're not going to tell johns like you that they're basically slaves - it's a turn-off to most men.
Every part of this story makes me grateful for the circumstances of my birth.
Your comment reminds me of a weibo (basically the Chinese Twitter) fight I read. The fight was between a celebrity who named Luo Yong-hao and some kind of patriotic guy. The dude wrote: you don’t deserve to be a Chinese citizen. Then Luo reply: Fine, then I wish you will still be a Chinese in your next life. (Most Chinese believe in reincarnation stuff)

What he says is pretty much true. I was born in china and I remember when a woman came up to my dad and tried to take him away when my mom was right next to him.
Its true china has a lot of hookers, but its absolute BS that most of them are forced. None of the prostitutes I spoke with in China were forced. They are doing it cause its easy money.
@SWGamer Gaming Whats your point? Are you suggesting they lied to me? Why do you think they haven't lied to Winston? I actually dated 4 prostitutes from China; they are NOT forced lol. In fact one of them is telling me the CCP recent crackdown on prostitution is affecting her business, that's her living. I know a friend of mine who dated a hooker and she was send by her family to work at a bar. But that's like maybe less than 1/30 cases, and even she wasn't really "forced," the chick was sent to work at a bar, and decided to sell herself after getting there. No one forced her to do that.

@@mysticonthehill You speak a lot for someone who has no idea what I have done; here is a suggestion, how about asking? Now read carefully. Yes, I dated them, in the sense that I made them either my girlfriend or fuck buddies without paying, or turning them into that after seeing them. I know far more about their background than Winston; speaking of which, hookers might have also lied to him to gain sympathy, which is also a common tactic. As or moral quandaries, I'm not going to go into the details of other issues; the issue at hand is whether these hookers are forced, and they are absolutely not (not including the rare cases of some teenage girl forced by their family to go work, which is a family issue, not the issue of the industry). It's an simply an easy money-making job
Yes of course they lied to you you fool. They wanted your money.

Thank you for caring about the plight of women. It’s really disheartening how rare it seems to be to find men who view these practices with the abject horror and sympathy that they so definitively warrant.

One of the Chinese students there was funding her study and living costs by doing prostitution work with visiting Taiwanese businessmen.

Man, this is depressing. Makes me realize how good and easy I really have it.
My dad visited China back in the 2010s, and my disgusting cousin took him to Shenzhen for some “bro time” at a karaoke. Then the girls come in and the men started to take their pick and off they go with the women. Now my dad was the old one who didn’t wanna participate with the “sauna activities” mainly because he left China right before all these disgusting things happen over there and he lived in HK and then later immigrated. He was just visiting and to him he prefers one of those old fashioned pure girls and those girls were not for him. He wanted to just pay for the girl and tell her to go home after she begged and said I need to feed my family. Then my disgusting cousin walked in and said what’s wrong and he said he’s not interested and told him he’s gonna pay the girl her taxi so she could go home safely. Then my cousin dragged the girl outside and started to slap her around. He’s not her pimp, he bought the place and the girls for some “bro time”. He’s like how could you let him down like this, go back in and make him happy! My dad got really scared and he waited my cousin to go in with a girl then quietly took her outside the karaoke bar and paid her extra to go home. That was my image of what my cousin is and it rocked me after I heard this from dad years later😢.
There’s nothing wrong with sex
True but there's plenty wrong with trafficking, rape, coercion,

I heard 'prostitution' was a common accusation for political prisoners
yeah that happens often lol. not long ago there was a chinese professor got arrested for criticizing ccp in the pandemic, all his family said he was in beijing the whole time but the police insists he was in hunan province and was "playing with prostitutes" lol
It's a good way to frame someone.
CCP doesn't like officers too clean to be controlled by them. To get in the "club", you have to networking with others. We all know what politicians like: luxury life, sex, etc. You have to join them, do these illegal activities along with them. Later if you pick the wrong side in political event, they can get these evidence out and send you to jail "lawfully".
@@frankxu2321 Yep. Same thing everywhere in the world, really.
Sex can be used by any government as black mail because it's a grey area of the law. Think about what that whole Epstein thing was about. Definite CIA or Mossad involvement there. Likely others too if you think about it. Makes me wonder who Harvey Weinstein actually pissed off.
I am an overseas Chinese... watching this is depressing. The livelihood of Chinese in their newfound adopted lands are most often not "ideal". But their livelihood in their own motherland is appalling. The families of beautiful rural area sold / sell their daughters to prostitutions and slavery..... What a loving family and parents.

The vast majority of the whores are NOT victims.

Give us a break and take your sexual freedom excuse away.
@@anasmadani5217Some are doing it willingly? How about substitute the word some with the vast majority? Who denied the existence of parents introducing teenage girls？ That's not what I am calling out BS on buddy. Winston literally said: "MOST of these girls have no choice. This is an illegal enterprise in China. A lot of them were tricked or coerced into being prostitutes. And that is why I am making this video, we need to raise awareness." He is purposely misrepresenting prostitution in China as if its some industry of oppression. It's simply bullshit. Just like prostitution anywhere else; the vast majority of hookers are doing it for easy money. The prostitution industry itself doesn't force anyone to work there, the rare cases of young girls sent by parents are the faults of abusive parents sending their kids and hiding their age.I've talked to no less than 20 hookers from Saunas to pink lights, all of them came because friends introduced them through some "auntie". Parents "forcing" teenage kids to work are very rare (I personally have never seen them, I only heard one of my friends said he met one, and she was not exactly coerced either, just influenced) and such rare phenomenons are entirely the problem of the parents, and can happen to any job, not just prostitution, and is not the direct problem of the industry itself or the CCP. Stop blaming it on the government or the industry and ignoring the real culprits. Also, the CCP is currently cracking down hard on prostitution, and I hear several prostitutes complaining that they are losing jobs, "Excuse" my ass. If anything, cracking down prostitution is whats oppressive to both the hookers and the customers and China should legalize prostitution and manage it better.
@@markemailonly3114 You’re right. These girls and most freelancer that i know enjoy a good life. In modern society and in big cities. Prostitution isn’t a dirty profession anymore. Hookers openly offer sex service online. Some are setting high prices too. They feel financial freedom. Some are nympho maniacs and earn a lot of money at the same time. Chinese hookers are hot and most have natural boobs
@@kyqorioskygo8999 Western feminists don't realize that hypergamy and gold-digging are much more tolerated in China and there is virtually no shaming on gold diggers (considered natural). A Chinese girl can literally walk into a KTV or sauna, work for just a day to get a few thousand yuan and go back to their normal life without anyone finding out about it, it's that easy to make money. Eventually, they will marry some beta men somewhere who will never find out about their past. Winston gets the entire narrative wrong. The CCP is trying to curb this recently, not encouraging it and if anything its harming the hookers' means of living.
When you told the story of how the girl would send money home so that her parents could pay for her brother’s school it made me weep. 😭😭
Great point you make about giving a voice to China's voiceless. They literally could not speak up themselves like this without fear of arrest. It's not "disrespecting China"; it's showing how the CCP is ruling China.
Goodness I hope Little Moon (Sorry if it's disrespectful to call her that) managed to escape that hell. I was hoping to hear a happy ending but I guess that's not reality.

Wow, heartbreaking indeed. I lived in Shanghai from 1995 to 2014. At first I never saw any signs of prostitution. Although I was actually propositioned once in 1995, I didn't realize that's what was happening until much later, it was so subtle. Fast forward to 2006 or so, and I could not even walk down Nanjing Lu in the evening without being propositioned repeatedly (once I was propositioned six times in one block) with "Girls girls girls" or "Hot sex" even as families sat around witnessing the whole thing. It was really sick and depraved.
It is much different now. Xi has cleaned up all the streets and put the clamp down but now is all online. So, don't see or know what is going on

I lived in China for 6 months. When I first got there I stayed at a hotel in Beijing because the following day we were to get a ride to Huangshi. The moment I stepped into the lobby a cabby asked me if I wanted a beautiful girl for the night. I declined. The moment I got into my room, literally the absolute second, the phone rang and I was asked if I wanted a massage, I also declined.
The next 4 months in my first trip to China was in Huangshi and every night I would get a call asking if I wanted to get a massage. Right outside the hotel there were brothels on the bottom floor of all the buildings for the next block up and the girls would actively try to get you to go in. One time I was actually grabbed by one when I was carrying groceries back to my hotel and they tried to yank me in to the brothel.

I second your notion
I don’t agree with a lot of political issues that he says anymore but when it’s about social issues, it’s very real and is a problem. So that I applaud him for.
This is so sad. I went to a strip club once when I turned 21(not in china) but I was amazed how many girls told me they were "on call" or that they are basically being pimped. I just felt sick to my stomach and I told myself ill never go back to a strip club again, been nearly 10 years since then. So many beautiful, bright young women that could start a beautiful
family and have a fruitful life just becoming slaves to drugs, sex and money... truly sad.
I've had a similar experience to you. Truly eye opening and saddening.
Nah, didn't you get them memo? Apparently this is empowering now
@@locky7347yep its not cool to have a man and build a family these days 🤦🏽♂️
Man, that “漫游” means a girl licking your body all over. Like from your neck all the way down to your legs, often with some water in her mouth, and making some noises along the process.

I’m sad for the people of China. I have been worrying about the 3 gorges damn breaking. I pray for those people
Yes very sad for them and those who visit to experience those services there
I worry about the dam also, but I think maybe it might be overblown by a segment of the media that wants it to collapse. Also it would seem that the flooding is pretty significant even with the dam remaining intact
@@mattgraham4340 I mean it is "made in china". I don't trust that craftsmanship
@@joshlewis575 Plenty of junk made in every other country as well. It wouldn't take but a few seconds of searching to find scores of bridge and dam failures in the USA or other countries.
Loukah Three gorges will never collapse. You know why? Because ccp built three gorges dam, if it collapsed, it is a slap right at their face. They would do anything to prevent it from collapse, not matter how many lives will be lost downstream. Right now the dam is releasing megatons of water to overflow the down stream villages so that it will never collapse.

Taiwan used to be like this, back in the days of single-party rule. Prostitution was technically illegal, but universally tolerated (and exploited for illicit gains) by the authorities to the extent that, as a visiting foreign businessman, for example, it was impossible to enjoy a relaxing beer at a hotel bar without being approached with "offers", and, yes, there were the cards under the door every night when you got back to the hotel. Just about every men's hair salon was a front for a brothel, as were numerous hot spring spas, massage parlors, and KTV (karaoke) joints. This all came to an end in the 1990's when Taiwan reformed its political system from single-party police state (sound familiar?) into a multi-party democracy with an independent justice system. With democracy came a widespread renaissance in civic engagement by ordinary citizens - temples, churches, and parents groups formed political alliances that supported candidates for office that pledged to take action against prostitution, the mafia and corrupt police. It worked. Not to say prostitution is completely gone (it never is), but it has been driven seriously underground. Now when businessmen close a deal, they go out for hot pot!
And many of the people that I know from Taiwan say that it was better way back then...
@@jakeblanton6853 I'd say the opposite - nowadays you have a very large middle class, and they have elected legislators and executives to their government who have cleaned up the place, so to speak. You can go to a hotel bar and there are no mei-mei's there looking for a sugar daddy, just regular people on dates, groups of office workers having a social time, and even families! I like that a lot better than the sleazy, misogynistic past.
Yes, it was. And as corrupt as China is now. I lived there from the late 70s to early 80s. I was a student so wasn't involved in that as It was mostly a tourist or older expat kind of thing to do. But we all knew about it. Over the years, returning to Taiwan, it has gotten better and better. Both the people and society as a whole. A lot of the transactional aspects of relationships have changed. I also spend a lot of time on the mainland, and it reminds me a lot of what Taiwan was like "back in the bad old days".
Ban prostitution is anti-freedom.
@@jakeblanton6853 Exactly! Everything has two sides. China was way more fun when it was the wild west back when Winston actually lived here. Now it is all cleaned up but pretty boring for many reasons compared to then.
By the way, that was not a pimp with Winston at the table. He's a friend and they were talking about the prostitution advertising. It's in another video.
Thanks. Was "reserving judgment", but wondering.... 😅
Very thoughtfully done... I think one of the things I like about your videos is that it's obvious you are a compassionate person and that your Chinese experience affected you very deeply. I don't sense malice in your representations/videos but a sincere concern for the people that live under severe government control... I have watched 3 or 4 videos in a row and could have put this comment on any of them. I think that says a lot about your character and content.
I spent a few days in Shanghai years ago and I couldn't walk anywhere at night (sometimes daytime) without being given one of these cards. A work friend and I were even propositioned at pretty much any bar we visited. The people who do this are annoyingly persistent, often requiring us to leave in order to get away. It really turned me off from ever visiting China again. It is quite ridiculous this is openly allowed to happen.
That has changed a lot since then. It still happens but the drug dealers or being propositioned often is much rarer.
Winston, you have once again picked an interesting topic. When I lived in Japan in the 1990s we noticed those same type "cards" that they put under your door in China in phone booths & around certain districts in Ikebukuro & Shinjuku. The love hotels and other "full" service places such as "Soapland" are not too far away from schools & the like. Interestingly, last year I didn't see any of those cards in Tokyo...
Maybe because of the Olympics, you know, to give a better image of the country
times have changed, now its still there, just no as in the open as before
Even been to Las Vegas?
@@simonizquierdocarrasco7099 Everything has gone online now
My friends from South Korea tell me that prostitution works the same way there, and even the “services” you’ve listed in the end are the exact same. The only difference is that Korea might be a bit cleaner.
I worked in Shenzhen - advertising in 1995. I was one of a handful of westerners there. Then i had blonde hair and blue eyes, i was like a pop star on tour and i found everyone so very nice and friendly.
Yes girls lined the streets at night and we referred to it as a chocolate box. Anyway i married a chinese lady whom i still married to today.
Fantastic experience - love Shenzhen!
This is like the social acceptance of slavery in the U.S. in the 1600 and 1700. You're born into a society that openly accepts these things and absent some internal awakening or external force pushing for change it continues. It's heartbreaking and as a father of three daughters you wish you could rescue them. Thanks for sharing this eye opening insight into what life is like for many young girls in China.
Yo...
" Let's not beat around the bush." Well done Sir.
Reminds me A friend of mine once took me a massage place like a big plaza it seems Norm but their was something really weird I went to the room where it says massage room in Chinese, a beautiful lady come in she introduce her self to meh and she gave me a rope asked me to take off my clothes and put on short...Long story short she asked to to touch my winner and then asked me after we Done the massage we Gonna do the magic, Never happened btw! Ask me why cuz we had convo and she told me she had 7 yr old boy and she is supporting him to go to school I was student by myself I knew what parent providing their child would take, I gave have her 300RMB about $50 her manager didn’t know I gave her money! she assume I was asking her to go out or something but I explained her why I’m giving her money she cried I tried to comfort her. Nothing less she was okay, later my friend And I have asked some questions why these women put them selves position like this we All agree they were hustling! A real hustlers!!
TECH SOMALI TECH SOMALI that’s an outlier though. Most choose that job Becuase it’s a lot of money.
@Uncle Eidolf why do the job ? While you can get free money instead
Prostitution is horrible, but it should never be illegal. That just makes a bad thing worse.
Is horrible also for us possible clients that have to pay too much money. I'm still virgin.
@@hhhhh81 I defend your right to do business with a willing prostitute. I'm just sad if that is your best option. But if you are Chinese, I understand that the bad One-Child policy of the evil Chinese government has done this to you.
Why not? Or is the victimization really so subjective?
@@jamesstrawn6087 It's a matter of individual liberty. If a woman is not being coerced in to prostitution, if she is really engaging in the activity voluntarily, then she has a right to offer sex for money. And if a man wants to pay for sex, and is not married, then he is his right to do so. Our job, as right-thinking people, is to persuade both of them that it is not a good idea, not in their own interest to engage in prostitution. But we may not resort to force to stop their peaceful, consensual commerce. And making prostitution illegal is using force to violate their rights to liberty. Furthermore, making prostitution illegal is not effective at reducing prostitution, and has many unintended negative social consequences.

Thank you for raising awareness for this worldwide problem. Prostitution is modern day slavery, nothing more. People who glamorize it and refer to prostitutes as consenting sex workers don't have a clue.
Great comment, "sex work" is the ultimate worldwide sex trafficking scheme that reels in millions of vulnerable girls who were dealt a bad hand early on. I've had a friend groomed into doing porn, she is still convinced she is happy but no doubt it will end terribly for her sooner or later. Poor girl is being sold off like a consumable object and has been groomed into believing that's fine
Bullshit
Even though I’ve been living in China for more than ten years, I still have learned so many new things on this channel.
You thought business man go to KTVs to sing Taylor Swift songs? But yah what Winston is talking about is 15-10 years ago China now everything is online and hidden better from view. But also most places can only offer handjobs not sex "if it is a legal place"
My residence In Anhui Province was at the school where I taught. There was a KTV on the same block as the school which was a very busy place at night for all the local lovers😏 I found out that some of my students or their moms worked there. Wow, it was eye opening.
Yoooooooooooooooo!!!

Why do you care?
@@rronaldreaganwhat's wrong with you?!
Hey Serpentza, so this one I actually agree with. Thanks for shedding light on this. The reason why boys are favored in the countryside is because when it's time for marriage, boys are the ones who stay with the parents (plus new family) so it's a retirement issue. You knew that, but I'd like to add this on. Many illegal things happen out in the open in China. Unfortunately, the same is true for many other countries. Ugh.
Totally agree with you. I lived in Guangzhou and it’s everywhere. Cards on the floor. Getting working girls come up to you on the street. Police do nothing even thou like you said it’s very illegal.
Is this your "dirty laundry" series already?
He waited a long time for this probably longer then 10 years.

Yep, they should have left him there. at least then, he was neutral and positive: the negative ratio was 2:1. For the lesser part they kicked them off and now, china's face is getting torn.
When I heard the girl was sending money back to her family for her brother education, it make me realize how important it must be for them, high school student to pass the national entress exam. Their family sacrificed everything for their education.
They put the boy before the sister so that he could get a good education and not her
dumbass confucians cuh naurr
I know that village you are talking about. Over the years I have heard many stories from that part of the city. Particularly there are many gangs in xiasha and shangsha who is feared by the people living there so a lot of these ilegal stuff gets sweeped under the rug. For an idea on the gang's power, I knew a teacher working at a school there who had one of the gang boss's son as a student. In this one time the kid was misbehaving and causing a lot of trouble, so the teacher tried to lecture the kid and he got MAD. So the kid pulled out a knife and chased this teacher around the school's track for hours and the school could do nothing about it. This is a pretty old story btw so gang presence there might not be as prevalent as it used to be. I haven't visted that part of town for a long time now so it surprised me when this sort of stuff is still happens there.
I wasn't going to watch this. But knowing serpentza is an honorable human, I knew it would not be in bad taste. Thank you for raising awareness of this problem. I will pray for the young lady. Love and light brother.
I’ve only seen trading cards similar to this on the Las Vegas Strip. They still didn’t shove them under the door, just people on the corners passing them out.
FWIW, I worked for a Japanese company and had to travel to Tokyo every month or so. Stayed at a nice hotel and had these cards under my door every night when I returned from work.
This is pretty much how it works in most of Asia. It's not just China.
Absolutely depressing

This is very interesting. Twenty years ago I took a trip across Russia on the Trans Siberian railway from Moscow to Irkutsk, then south to Mongolia and finally ending up in Beijing. The same night we arrived in Beijing we were walking on the crowded sidewalk near the hotel and out of nowhere some Chinese guy approached my brother and I and said in broken English: "Chinese woman, your hotel room, sex." I replied, "no," to which he responded, "Thank you." Then he immediately disappeared into the crowd.

Prostitution is the second oldest profession... the first is advertising.
I thought they came in a package.
Gotta have something to advertise.
Who paid someone to advertise in ancient times? 2nd oldest is money lending.
hunting was probably the first, prostitution was the second. A way for females to pay for food they could not get themselves.
@@cultofmalgus1310 actually, gathering was way more reliable than hunting success. So sorry to burst your bubble, women doing gathering sustained the group more than the hunter. What the hunter could bring was extra, which also was always good, but rarely the main food-source.
OMG - I am a black woman. About 30 years ago, I brought US companies to China for manufacturing - Guangdong, Dongguan, Shenzhen, etc. After a full day's work with the Chinese manufacturing company, the representatives of the US client, and my male Chinese-Canadian business partner, on more than one occasion, the China company took all of us to "clubs." In these clubs, young soldiers (I think they were soldiers) with rifles lined the entrance. They were all super smily and nice with me, but jeez - the rifles! Once up stairs, we were led by a hostess to a room with a karaoke setup, semi-couches lining the walls, chairs, and a few cocktail tables. Several young women in tight suits, cheap heels, and short skirts soon came in. They gave each of us their business "cards" in typical polite Chinese fashion (they looked like regular business cards).
Well, these gals must have been thrilled that I was there - all they did was sing karaoke all night, with tipsy men (from the Chinese manufacturing companies and my US clients), and keep us all drinking. I knew something was "off", but in my naivety, I did not recognize that they were part of the club's "offering." My heart goes out to these young women. At least my being a female client saved them from an otherwise ugly night of work.
I live in Hefei and don't see the prostitution cards very often. But when visiting Suzhou I was handed a card just near a bar, one side was in Chinese and the other in English and pretty straightforward in what you could pay for. Pretty surprised to get given it.
