General Info

[RobSH]

I figured them out with a bit of context:

GM = 干25705; Gan Mo = Dry Rubbing. Massage without oil. Usually implies sex.

XT = 胸25512; Xiong Tui = Chest Push. Massage with tits.

SM = 水25705; Shui Mo = Water Massage. Nuru (or at least the Chinese imitation of it).

Can anyone translate the following acronyms, which are specific to China, and therefore hard to find on western forums such as this?:

GM.

XT.

SM.

Cheers!

Heze is a relatively poor.. Just my Heze experience. Enjoy and report.

P13.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I do not speak Chinese, but can use WeChat and an translator app. I decided to actually stay in Qufu and be transported to and from Heze, since now it looks like I will only need to be in Heze 1 day. I assume it's the same scenario in Qufu?

If nothing available in Qufu, I had already pallned to visit Hong Kong and Macau on this trip by taking a train, so I will wait if I have to.

Thanks.

I have to go to Heze on business for a few days. First time there and wanted to know if there are any possibilities in Heze or nearby such as Jining? (I couldn't find anything RTFF and using the "search" function).

Thanks in advance.

Heze is a relatively poor part of a moderately affluent province, ShanDong. So the number of "little misses" is probably higher than in other parts of ShanDong.

However, having said all that.

Can you speak Chinese? Do you use WECHAT (weixin)? Do you have / use QQ?

There are "underground" brothels but difficult for a foreigner to quickly find.

Just my Heze experience.

Enjoy and report.

Hey mongers!

I just arrived in Changping China last night. First time here and went out looking services last night and was unable to find any. Asked cab drivers but all said the only available line up was at KTVs. Went to a KTV recommended by cab driver but there were NO available services! I'm kinda disappointed so far. Did I make a trip overseas for this type of activity?

Anyone been here in the past few months and can make recommendations or provide contacts? I have no set itinerary here so can move around town nearby. Plan to go Shenzhen tomorrow unless I find something here in Dongguan / Changping.

You won't be getting anything out of CP/ Dongguan as a first timer and no connections area been pretty much shut down.

Most Chinese smartphones have a function on their camera to alter the girls' looks. They automatically remove skin blemishes, enlarge the eyes, and make the face narrower.

On Samsung Galaxy smartphones this function even comes as the default setting.

Remember this next time you see a girl's photo on the internet that has been taken on a phone.

Apps like WeChat, QQ and ChinaLoveCupid, in China, are seriously dying in terms of usefulness for dating Chinese girls (casually and serious).

WeChat was fantastic to use around 2012 for meeting girls, including both freebies and part-timers. These days it is full of old WGs and pimps. And of course girls showing off their wealth or photos of food.

QQ is really just a copy of ICQ and is so out of date.

CLC is full of girls seeking western husbands and lots of studio photos and 20 year old photos.

Speaking to guys (both Chinese and Western), they state that TanTan and MoMo are the way to go. Only a little Chinese knowledge is necessary. I played around with TanTan and got more matches and likes than one gets on DIA in the PI (if that is possible).

Give them a go if you want to meet all sorts of girls in China.

I have asked this question on the Shenzhen forum with no luck, so I will repeat here.

Since the release of WeChat 6. 0 (I think), the FakeGPS app no longer works with WeChat. WeChat have made some changes to their location technology.

Does anyone know an equivalent app to FakeGPS that works with WeChat?

Ikksman.

P.S. A temporary solution is to use an old version of WeChat.

I've been looking for the same thing. Don't log out from WeChat as it won't let you log back in with an old version, it will make you update and we know it does not work. I made that mistake trying to change accounts to hide from my regular.

I used to have everything lined-up even before I got on the plane, now I have to wait until arrival.

If you find a solution please PM me.

The recent raid on three Beijing nightclubs, the largest such bust since the capital's notorious Passion Club was shut down in 2010, was the latest step in the challenging fight against the Chinese sex trade.

The industry has long been a tricky issue, but its scale has rapidly expanded in recent years with the growth of social media, which has made enforcing the law harder than ever, said Li Yinhe, a sociologist at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

The sex trade has reaped huge profits in recent years, with related industries alone making up around a seventh of the GDP of one Guangdong Province manufacturing city in 2014, according to the Xinhua News Agency in 2015. {S N I P}

For instance, after the Dongguan authorities cracked down on prostitution the local economy lost an estimated 50 billion yuan ($7. 67 billion) in annual spending, around a seventh of local GDP, Xinhua reported in February, 2015.

The Global Times is an official mouthpiece of the Communist Party (along with the China Daily and Xinhua). Any articles printed follow the official party line and are basically propaganda.

Intransit, I have previously advised you of this fact and I have suggested that rather than assisting the Communist Party spread their propaganda, you write more analytical critiques. This will help prevent newbies being misled and brainwashed. I again advise you to do this!

The article is poorly written and even contains contradictions and very little information of any use. Their description Dongguan, past and present is laughable. They write about "the umbrella" without clearly defining it. Chinese people know that in this article, the big umbrella is Jiang Zemin and that Dongguan was cleaned up to help Xi Jinping consolidate his power. The article claims that the government did not know about situation in Dongguan until the media exposed it in 2014. What a joke. It was the most famous sex capital in Asia. Millions of visitors from Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, HK, other parts of mainland China and other countries poured into Dongguan every year for sex and to a lesser extent gambling.

I really am sick of the hundreds of your transcriptions that clog ISG. If you want to post, just show the URL and write a few lines about the article. I guess 90% of your posts are just press articles clogging up ISG. Very few are ever commented on by ISGers.

And finally, if the article is from Xinhua, China Daily or the Global Times, state that this is communist propaganda and write your own critiques of the article.

I was in Shanghai for Chinese New Year once. It was like a war zone with smoke bombs going off on every street. The barbecues on many street corners are lovely too, if you enjoy your asthma ans bronchitis. Party on China, until the chickens come home to roost.

The country has been poisoned. Foul noxious toxic air in most cities. Rivers full of lead and other waste products. Dead animals in all the big rivers. The water table, Probably poisoned too. 30 years of breakneck development, without a lot of laws and rules and the basic items of water and air are possibly destroyed beyond all hope of redemption.
Its kind of sad what they have done. And yes, fireworks were banned in central Beijing for chinese new year.. Police sent out lots of notices to businesses etc. . they just forgot to tell the people or to enforce their own bans. Friday night in Beijing was a similar war zone. And I'm sure the same in every city. Fireworks manufacturers sold a lot. And the air. Destroyed yet again.

The recent raid on three Beijing nightclubs, the largest such bust since the capital's notorious Passion Club was shut down in 2010, was the latest step in the challenging fight against the Chinese sex trade.

The industry has long been a tricky issue, but its scale has rapidly expanded in recent years with the growth of social media, which has made enforcing the law harder than ever, said Li Yinhe, a sociologist at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

The sex trade has reaped huge profits in recent years, with related industries alone making up around a seventh of the GDP of one Guangdong Province manufacturing city in 2014, according to the Xinhua News Agency in 2015.

The recent crackdown on the three Beijing nightclubs. The Baoli Club, the Landai Club and the Lihai Mingyuan nightclub. Which saw 77 people arrested for prostitution, is a drop in the ocean, Li told the Global Times.

In December 2016, Beijing police took into custody hundreds of people in Baoli Club, located in Beijing's Dongcheng district, and many at the two other clubs in Haidian district, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau said in a statement on Sunday.

There was a hidden sex network behind the busted Beijing nightclubs, the Beijing News reported. It reported that the sex workers at all three were employees of the same company and would often do shifts in different venues.

A source who visited the Baoli Club was quoted by the Beijing News as saying that the cost of hiring a sex worker ranged from 5,000 to 8,000 yuan ($726-1,163).

Protective umbrella.

Lu Weiqi, deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau of Dongguan, a Guangdong boom town long known for its rampant prostitution, once described the sex trade as a profit chain involving hotel operators, contractors, managers, pimps and the sex workers themselves.

Police have never succeeded in eradicating the industry during past crackdowns, he said, even after the local authorities conducted a wide-ranging campaign in 2014 after the media exposed its sex industry.

It is difficult for police to collect evidence and identify those involved in the sex trade because of the "protective umbrella" that keeps them safe, Lu was quoted by Xinhua as saying.

Several Dongguan officials and 36 police officers were punished for negligence and abusing their power, 17 of whom have been prosecuted or face prosecution, following the 2014 crackdown the Ministry of Public Security said in February 2015. Dongguan police and officials are widely believed to have sheltered prostitution, Xinhua said.

Moreover, as the sex industry keeps up with the times and finds new ways to market itself online and offline, crackdowns are becoming increasingly difficult, Li said.

"It's impossible to eliminate prostitution in this circumstance and a crackdown would be a waste of police manpower," he explained.

Beside the industry's efforts to remain elusive, out-of-date laws and regulations leave police without the legal tools they need while opening the door to corruption.

The Law on Penalties for Administration of Public Security says that those who buy or sell sex face just 10 to 15 days of detention and a fine of no more than 5,000 yuan, said Liu Wei, a Beijing lawyer.

"Under this system, police officers have absolute power over who is detained and the length of the detention. They are both players and referees, which easily breeds corruption," said Liu Renwen, a law professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Eliminating prostitution?

Beside law enforcement challenges, the "flourishing and existence of prostitution is due to the unbalanced allocation of resources in society, resulting in those unable to earn enough selling their body for money," Peng Xiaohui, a sexology professor at Wuhan's Central China Normal University, told the Global Times on Thursday.

The key to reducing prostitution could be to provide better public welfare, according to Peng.

However, Li said that the sex trade is likely to see greater demand in the future as men significantly outnumber women in China.

Beside prostitution itself, related legitimate industries such as KTVs, massage parlors and hotels, have an impact on local GDP, Li said.

For instance, after the Dongguan authorities cracked down on prostitution the local economy lost an estimated 50 billion yuan ($7. 67 billion) in annual spending, around a seventh of local GDP, Xinhua reported in February, 2015.
