Pelacuran di Tiongkok
Prostitusi menjadi aktivitas ilegal berdasarkan hukum Tiongkok. Meski demikian, perdagangan wanita masih marak, bahkan terorganisir dengan rapi. Sejumlah laporan media lokal menyebut jumlah pekerja seks komersial di Tiongkok mencapai angka 4 juta sampai 6 juta.
Berdasarkan hasil investigasi tim BBC, ditemukan kelompok mafia dan tindak prostitusi di sejumlah lokasi, seperti tempat spa dan bar. Jaringan prostitusi Tiongkok cukup banyak dan mengakar cukup lama.
