Just some musings whilst I lament the probable lost of our favorite play playground. I hope I'm wrong and I certainly hope so.

This strike had been very meticulously orchestrated by the central government and surgically carried out to do maximum harm to both the supply and demand equation. If you notice, there had actually been very minimal actual arrests, but quite prominent and strategic ones designed to signal the authorities' stern resolve and which IMHO is only a first warning flare. Those who continue to not pay heed and think it's just like previous ineffectual yandas are, I think, in for a rude awakening.

Action at the Crown Prince is significant in that the owner, being a national CCCP member with close ties to the PLA, had been immune in the past. The removal of senior government officials also signaled that nobody is sacrosanct.

Previous weekend when I was there, ChangPing was still very much alive and the air of anticipation for when the girls will come back and business can resume was palpable. It is now like a ghost town as the timing of the start of the yanda - when the girls hadn't come back yet - was IMHO perfectly timed to tell all the players to not come back; stay in your home province to do your part to build the inner areas up (as has been the stated intentions of central government) or else be prepared to work at those factories etc that are nowadays facing structural labor shortages in Dongguan. All very strategic. Even that supposed CCTV expose - nothing of the sort, it was all directed by central government. Nothing gets aired on CCTV without such orders!

I've postulated in the past that the leaders are likely to take singapore's cue and compartmentalize all Sex activities to ChangPing a'la Geylang. All this may yet come to bear. Stop all this revenue loss to the gangsters and corrupt officials and instead reform the whole industry to enable them to tax it all properly whilst upgrading the industry. No, of course not officially but something has to be done to stop this total loss of face to the world when China's best young maidens are being sold wholesale to any and all comers. Not official - but well understood and to be rigidly adhered to like how it is in Geylang - with transgressors having to face the full consequences.

Heck, if it is impossible to actually wipe out prostitution, it's only appropriate for China to have it conducted with class and a modicum of integrity. And that of course means we're probably gonna have to shell out more of our hard earned money if we are to partake. Ouch!

I really think this may still be what's in store for ChangPing - and that it has been in the making for a few years. Note the cleanup of zhuhai, Shenzhen etc and the out-in-the-open relocations of all services to ChangPing past few years. That plus the go ahead to build all these big hotels, arcades, apartments etc. And isn't it amazing that up to date, ChangPing has NOT really even
been mentioned in the mainstream media?!

By the way - I just heard that someone is organizing a protest on Sunday 2 March. Ominous. Whoever it is who is behind this, I'm quite sure must have more than his fair share of vested interest! And is gonna take full advantage of the general feeling of desperation, hopelessness and anger amongst many. Lemmings being driven to the cliff not by anybody leading them from ahead, but just by stoking their anger. discontent and desperation. Sacrificial lambs!

And even those who are blindly participating in spreading this call to arms by re-posting such on their own QQ/WeChat accounts are gonna be in danger as there are already in place actual laws against this. Poor naive pawns.

As I said, just some of my own musings and POV
