Chinese police shut down prostitution website
Police in the southern Chinese metropolis of Guangzhou arrested 29 people in connection with an Internet prostitution site that documented call girls in 20 Chinese provinces and regions.
The site called "playchina" or "xiyouzhongguoII," which had 15,700 registered users, has also been shut down, the Information Times reported Friday.
After police discovered the site in October, a two-month investigation resulted in the arrest of the 29 domestic webmasters involved with the site which was run from an overseas server.
Users of the website were given detailed information on call girls throughout China with over 65,000 photos posted on the site, it said.
After downloading the entire site's contents, investigators found themselves with a one-meter (one yard) high stack of printouts, it said.
Following China's communist revolution in 1949, prostitution was nearly
eradicated from the country, but it has reappeared nowadays.
