As part of a special campaign launched on February 10 to fight prostitution, police in 21 prefecture-level cities have inspected more than 947,000 entertainment venues and 1,200 pornographic websites in the past four months.
The campaign found 3,553 entertainment venues were involved in prostitution or violated relevant laws and regulations. These entertainment venues, including sauna houses, KTV halls, karaoke bars, beauty salons, foot massage centers and have been shut down, or temporarily closed for improvement, the statement said.
