Chinese dating websites and prostitution scandal

12 Chinese dating websites have just been accused of promoting prostitution by China’s internet watchdog. The sites have been ordered to amend their content by 1st June or face the axe.

One of the site’s members profile showed a posting from a young woman describing herself as a “professional pleasure giver.”

“The outrageous pimping content in some websites is very shocking,” said the Beijing Online News and Information Panel, consisting of government officials, experts and representatives.

“Aiding and abetting the spread of prostitution information in pursuit of higher hit rate may be against the law,” said Min Dahong, director of the panel.

The accused sites were found to be posting “service items, pricing and contact information.”
