victims - War against pornography rages on

Chinese media are still under full steam when it comes to the People's War against Pornography. Exhibitors at the ongoing Adult Toy Expo in Shanghai kept it on the safe side, when putting the models on the catwalk to parade their lingerie. While lingerie is traditionally meant to stress certain body parts, the models in Shanghai had wrapped up these parts in plastic, making it a very funny show.
I already noted before that in a major blow to pornography, the internet filters would stop the world 'sex', also in the combination 'sex education' and 'sextant'. Collegues from Beijing told that this happened to them already earlier, and that additionally also the word 'prostitution' was banned in Beijing. I just tried and can still use the word in Shanghai, but it will be only a matter of time before the censors will root out prostition also in Shanghai, at least in the search engines.
