    When I was in China in 2015 every morning when I awoke in my hotel room someone had slipped prostitutes’ business cards under my door so there is definitely still a sex worker industry there (at least in Beijing and Shanghai)

      Okay I corrected it by including “legal”, so like contrary to Japan with brothels in the open. By “sex industry” I also mean the p*****graphic industry and like strip clubs which are totally legal elsewhere but at least banned by law in China

      Also I want to add that I’m not bigoted against women who choose sex work when it’s made available, but I think that a legal sex industry is a sign of deep institutional sexism for a whole range of reasons
