CCTV Exposes Dongguan Sex Industry, Naked Selection [of Prostitutes] in Five Star Hotel
In Guangdong Dongguan, sexual services run rampant. In a five-star hotel, a CCTV reporter conducted an undercover investigation, and after being escorted to a room, there was a large full-length mirror in a corner. The manager says what’s special about it is what is behind the mirror. The manager turned off the light, lifted the curtain, and behind were two nearly naked women dancing.

Heaven for Chinese men!!!!!

Is this an advertisement?
上错岸:
Why are the prices all different? Is it based on the looks or their work????? Or their age?????

Not stealing or robbing, making a living with their own abilities.
_拥抱旅途:
If the crackdown is severe, just how many people are going to be unemployed again?
知秋兄:
Continues despite repeated prohibition, might as well just legalize it.
哔哔隆冬强丶:
It’d be great if it were made legal…~ If they’re all closed, then there would be more rapes.
爱无能者:
What I want to know is how the reporter excused himself [left without partaking in the services offered].
wwhcl:
Dongguan is simply awesome!!!
zhangbingde:
Turns out whoring in Dongguan is no idle boast.
dingo101:
Can only say the reporter must’ve had a good time.
天天向上太阳:
Dongguan is truly lawless, a place that is completely unregulated.
wow10251020:
A profession that has existed for thousands of years in our country, why crack down on it?
濤無聲:
Dongguan is screwed now.
非正嘞: (responding to above)
Why? Don’t be so naive.
燕云飞十一:
It’s people’s physiological needs, there’s no need to be so harsh. How come you don’t go arrest all the people with mistresses? Why don’t you guys go do some real work?
RTTV:
When a reporter does an undercover investigation, does CCTV help reimburse expenses? I want to be a reporter too.
暧昧8888:
There was one from Sichuan. I’m sad.

Fortunately there wasn’t one from Zhejiang~~
我爱银菲:
This must be cracked down on and eliminated completely. Was our reform and opening up just for this?

The Dongguan problem does not need cracking down. Actually, it is similar to Stephen Chow’s movie [King of Beggars], Beggar Su: “How many beggars there are is not something that is decided by me, but by you.” The Emperor: “Me?” Beggar Su: “If you are wise, give the country prosperity and the people peace, who would be willing to be a beggar?”…

The industry’s conscience [practices] is cleaner than the apes~

The suspending of the police chief is simply a scapegoat, because are the Dongguan mayor and even the Dongguan Public Security Bureau chief not the biggest culprits. Just like what Chongqing’s Wen Qiang said right before dying, rushing to me is nothing more than killing someone to keep them from talking.

Good thing I watched the news in the morning and didn’t go in the evening. Information determines fate!

Without the protection of government officials, Dongguan wouldn’t have become the industry’s benchmark/standard!

Let me borrow a fellow netizen’s insightful comment: Some reporters are even bigger whores than whores. CCTV reporters brandishing CCTV’s power and the media’s so-called power of [media/public] supervision to secretly investigate [do undercover reporting] these kinds of businesses have themselves already made the mistake of “only seeing the sesame seed and not the watermelon” [“missing the forest for the trees”]. There are far more news that is far far more important than this kind of thing, but you never see CCTV reporters seriously reporting about them.
Would they dare to do undercover reporting of [government] halls and buildings? No, they wouldn’t dare. Would they dare to do undercover reporting of black brick kilns? No, they wouldn’t dare. Would they dare to do undercover reporting of sweatshops? No, they wouldn’t dare. Sometimes it is because they truly don’t dare, and other times it is because they truly aren’t able to do the hard work involved. They only do undercover reporting of saunas and hotels, using no effort at all, where they can use public funds to pretend to be consumers, to pretend to be a “big tailed wolf”, pointing at a row of young girls, then pull up their pants and call the police with a face of righteousness. Calling the police to them is just making an anonymous phone call, while those girls have to face the police checking their national ID cards, notifying their families, and even risk being publicly exposed. To the masses, it is nothing more than learning something they long knew already. To put it another way, going undercover to secretly report on saunas has no news value at all. The biggest lie in the world may not be “I love you”, nor is it “I’ll be right there”, but CCTV reporters doing undercover reporting in Dongguan yet saying they “want to leave”.
In my opinion, this kind of reporter that targets disadvantaged social groups and does news that costs nothing [is of no cost/risk to themselves] has nothing but cowardice and wretchedness in their bones. What is cowardly is that they do not have the courage to report the real news, afraid to face their own cynicism and zombieness. What is wretched is their eyes never leaving the women’s bodies, yet self-righteously pretending to be lawful and conscientious good people. They only dare to supervise [investigate, report on] the cunts of the masses. Looks like on whose body a cunt is on is truly a huge political issue.

They take off their pants to visit prostitutes, and lift up their pants to crack down on prostitution.

Sorry for inconveniencing you, we’ll let you know when you can come back after the news dies down.
mickeyjiang [网易广东省东莞市手机网友]：
12 places? 67 people? You can take any town and there would be more than just 12 places, and there would be more than 67 people in any hotel. They’re just putting on a show, and it’ll be fine [back to normal] after a few days.

CCTV, you and your fucking worthless reporting, which one of your female broadcasters and hosts aren’t the whores of some government leader?!
ucome888 [网易山东省威海市网友]：
I want to know, before this happened, did Dongguan police not know about these things? What about the bureau chief?
wushengxu534 [网易广东省阳江市网友]：
If I don’t go to a sauna, would I still have the opportunity in this life to touch the hand of a female goddess [beautiful woman]? I don’t have a car or a [owned] house/apartment, no women would want me.

台东达哥 [网易山东省青岛市网友]：
If it weren’t [reported] on Focus Interview [the CCTV news program], would there have been such a large police action?
Previously, the two police officers who answered the call said they would dispatch police to go investigation, but why didn’t they go, and could it be considered dereliction of duty? For over 10 years, the sex industry in Dongguan was not brought under control, so shouldn’t the mayor be held accountable?
I personally believe the sex industry shouldn’t be prohibited, but since the law is what it is, shouldn’t things be done according to the rules [shouldn’t the law be enforced more consistently]?

工人阶级先潜队 [网易江西省吉安市手机网友]：
Dongguan is a national model work unit, the only place with any hope of contending with Japan‘s sex/porn industry. The government should deeply investigate, consider the real situation, and take a path with Heavenly Kingdom characteristics. Since it has spurred domestic demand and saved millions of rabble from suffering the torment of Japanese AV [adult videos], what can one have against it?!

My girlfriend says her factory in Dongguan has closed down and she’s coming back to marry me, I’m so happy…
