Chinese Legal Scholar Vows to Fight Arrest for Use of Prostitution Services

       Now the argument has been made by sex workers around the world that they provide a social need, by evidence of its historical operations.  The Communist government in Beijing has been an advocate of the opposite viewpoint: sex workers are to be criminally charged and prohibited in society.  As a result, among others, the Beijing government uses the anti-prostitution laws as a cudgel against critics and opponents of the central Communist government.  Hence, the charges against the Chinese legal scholar who was recently arrested, charged with crimes apparently related to use of services from a sex worker.
     (Most recently, a self-identified sex worker, Jen, gained international recognition as the "Naked Athena" who confronted Federal officers in the city of Portland, Oregon where demonstrators were protesting police actions related to the death of George Floyd; a video was part of the program).
      The legal scholar in China says he will fight the government's charges and defend himself to the fullest extent with a legal team made up of the best minds in the business.  Of course, we know from experience, this effort will no doubt fall on deaf ears, and the accused will be found guilty as charged, given the government's goal of silencing all dissent in the country.   Given recent government activities in Hong Kong, Xiajian, the South China Sea, Wuhan, and the Amur River area on the Russyan border, one can hardly expect anything else from a legal defense of government accusations.
     As America and China dance the dance of political positioning, all topics are being put on the agenda, whether social, political, or commercial.
Stay tuned, there's more to come in the COVID-19 World.
