Rise of Chinese-only prostitution catches Philippines by surprise

    Hundreds of Chinese sex workers and brothel managers rounded up in raids described by the authorities as a ‘new development’

    Rising vice cases are being linked to the online gambling companies that employ hundreds of thousands of often-undocumented Chinese workers

Prostitution: supposedly, it is the oldest profession in the world, yet a sudden new development in the sex trade has left Philippine
law enforcers scratching their heads: the rise of Chinese prostitutes catering exclusively to Chinese customers.

Nearly 300 Chinese sex workers and their clients were rounded up in raids by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Philippine National Police on 12 brothels in six cities in the second half of last year, the Philippine media company ABS-CBN reported this week. Agents believe all the raided premises were being run by mainland Chinese, for Chinese clients.

Amazing and... the amazing part is apparently, the number is high. This might not be so alarming if it were still say, 20, even 50 but this seems to indicate a wider problem.
