Those not updated on the situation do read up the Changping thread as it's more active.

Dongguan is very serious about the crack down this time. There're non-Mainlander arrests in hotel rooms already. Of course not reported in news. Some people may not want to say openly here because of vested interest.

For me I still dare to step in Dongguan KTVs as long as I know my group members do not engage in humsup activities, drugs or gambling inside the KTV room. Even if haul back to police station for urine tests I've also nothing to be afraid of.

Situation in Dongguan is like that.
Want to take risks then be prepared for consequences. This matter is not like last time wayang for 1 or 2 weeks then everything back to normal.

Good luck guys.

Appreciate your honest feedback bro CaptainDragon.

At least right now we can confirm from our sources that the authorities will even arrest non-Mainlanders without mercy if caught red handed.
Your intel is arrest of Hong Kong national.
My intel is arrest of Taiwanese, Singaporeans and Malaysians.
My info is to share with cheongsters only.
Please do not ask me for any more details.
Want to believe or not is up to you.

Report from China Daily dated 6 March 2014 :-

Guangdong gets tough on sex trade

A senior Party leader from Guangdong province vowed on Wednesday to take tougher action against prostitution and crimes linked to the sex trade as the southern economic powerhouse continues its three-month crackdown on prostitution.

"We will continue our investigation into the prostitution industry and strengthen our efforts to tackle the problem," said Hu Chunhua, Party chief of Guangdong. Hu made the remarks at a panel discussion during the annual session of the National People's Congress, which convened in Beijing on Wednesday.

The sweeping crackdown came a day after a China Central Television report on Feb 9 exposed rampant prostitution in massage parlours and hotels in Dongguan, about 100 km from Hong Kong.

As of Feb 28, more than 3,100 entertainment venues across the province have been shut down for their alleged involvement in prostitution. Among the shuttered venues, 2,147 are located in Dongguan, a city known for its large manufacturing and trade sectors but also for its underground casino resorts, bathhouses, massage parlours and backstreet brothels.

"We had already planned a move to crack down on prostitution this year - like the way we fought against drugs last year. The CCTV reports of Dongguan's rampant sex trade forced us to launch the campaign earlier," Hu said.

Hu said police have made 363 arrests across the province and are investigating 30 officials in Dongguan.

"The government was partly responsible for the development of the sex trade in Dongguan so we introduced an accountability system to punish officials who provided protection to illegal sex activities," Hu said.

Yan Xiaokang, Dongguan's deputy mayor and police chief, has been sacked and several police officers in city townships have been punished, Hu said. "Offenders, including organizers, operators and those who gained from the sex trade, will be particularly targeted in the crackdown," Hu added.

Yuan Baocheng, mayor of Dongguan, declined to say on Monday how the crackdown would affect the city's economy. At last year's NPC session, Yuan said the city would not rely on the sex trade, gambling and drugs for its economic growth.

"I have to say that some social problems, such as underground prostitution, the drug trade and gambling, have emerged in Dongguan along with other cities in Guangdong, following decades of rapid economic development," he said.

Media reports have estimated that the sex industry has contributed about one-tenth of the city's revenue.

Dongguan's economy grew by 9.8 per cent year-on-year to 550 billion yuan (S$114 billion) in 2013.

Media reports have also estimated that at least 300,000 people work in the sex industry in Dongguan. China Daily could not confirm the number.

"But we will never rely on such negative factors to drive economic development," Yuan said.

Bro,
Was recently in CA, first all S and dirty massages are close. KTV some are open but no girls at all (So no point going there) and to top it off Gong An kept coming back to check (no mood). Also there are Gong An stationed at the hotel lobby that we are staying. He would walk up to us when we come in and told us that we must register our guest and also the penalty of calling chickens (Balls shrink .... do not want to test system).

When in hotel saw advertisements on their regular local TV channels of 打黄 (catching chickens) and there r rewards (4000 rmb) for reporting people calling chickens or providing chickens etc. ...... (super balls shrink)

We decided to go to Xiamen instead where there is no such things YET. We went to SZ to catch high-speed train (3 hrs +) to Xiamen and call the mummy there to book 2 different KTV there. Newly open KTV is more EXPENSIVE than CA and CP (prices like HJ) but services and quality are better than CA and CP (got Russian, Polish and Romania chicks). The older KTV are cheaper .... more in line with CP prices.

For Xiamen mummy contact pls PM me (she is from HMTL in CP but now in Xiamen till the heat is over) ....

Report from Reuters dated 4 April 2014 :-

Anti-vice crackdown on China's "sin city" takes extra toll as economy slows

HONG KONG - A crackdown on a once-thriving sex trade in China's factory of the world will come with a significant economic cost for the city of Dongguan's local government, which relies heavily on the entertainment industry for tax revenues.

Dongguan, a sprawling manufacturing base in the Pearl River Delta that has also been dubbed "sin city", has already been grappling with an economic slowdown and higher operating costs that have seen scores of factories close or move to cheaper locations inland or to countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia or Bangladesh.

In February, the city's second engine of growth was hit hard when more than 6,000 police officers launched anti-vice raids, arresting about 1,000 people and hitting businesses across the board, from hotels, massage parlours and karaoke bars to taxi drivers and retailers.

"Manufacturing is unlikely to recover and the service industry has been hurt, so Dongguan's economy in the first quarter should not look good," said Qun Liao, chief economist at China Citic Bank International. "If there's no manufacturing, there's no one to enjoy the services."

The raids are expected to result in some 50 billion yuan (S$10.2 billion) in losses for businesses in the city, according to the official Xinhua news agency.

An agricultural backwater town until the late 1980s, Dongguan was transformed into one of the world's most important manufacturing hubs as China boomed, producing everything from electronics and garments to furniture and toys.

GOVERNMENT COFFERS HIT
Persistent weakness in China's manufacturing sector has reinforced fears of a sharper-than-expected slowdown at the start of 2014, and some government economists think national authorities have already started boosting spending to put a floor under growth.

The economic slowdown and vice crackdown have cast doubt over Dongguan's ability to reach its 2014 economic growth target of 9 per cent, a far cry from its heady annual growth rates of up to 23 per cent.

In a city where the local government gets the lion's share of taxes from the service industry, as opposed to the 25 per cent share it gets from the manufacturing sector, the impact from the anti-vice crackdown on local coffers is cause for concern.

Dongguan's gross domestic product reached 520 billion yuan in 2013, with tax revenues of over 30 billion yuan, said Lin Jiang, head of Public Finance and Taxation Department of Lingnan College at Sun Yat-sen University in the southern province of Guangdong, where the city is located.

Of that, an estimated 3.6 billion yuan came from the entertainment business, he told Reuters, adding that the impact from the crackdown would extend across the board.

"The first impact from a slump in hotel business is a drop in business tax, so local government's revenue drops. Other industries that benefit from the hotel business, such as food and restaurants, fashion, jewellery, retail, which all contribute to value-added tax, are also hurt," Lin said.

LIGHTS ON, NOBODY HOME
On a visit to Dongguan last week, the combined impact of the economic slowdown and recent raids was clear.

By 7 p.m., bright, neon signs dangling from low-rise hotels, karaoke lounges and bars lit up Swan Lake Road, among the most bustling streets in the town of Changping, but there were few customers or bar girls to be seen.

"Business is quiet nowadays. Police come and inspect three times a week," said a bartender in one of the biggest clubs in town. He declined to be identified due to the sensitive nature of his business, as the crackdown continues.

Changping is close to a train station that links, in just over an hour, directly to the Asia financial centre of Hong Kong, helping to fuel its vibrant sex and entertainment industry that caters in large part to travelling businessmen.

Chinese media reports have estimated that at least 300,000 people are employed in Dongguan's sex industry and that it contributes about a tenth of the city's revenue.

In the industrial area of Changping, many empty factories had bright yellow signs plastered on shuttered gates advertising them for rent.

A factory owner from Hong Kong said the Changping industrial park had seen just 20-30 per cent occupancy rates since it opened five years ago, with most tenants local textile companies.

In Houjie, another factory town in Dongguan hit hard by the anti-vice crackdown, many hotels offered steep discounts, while others had been forced to close along with karaoke bars.

Taxi drivers and cosmetics salespeople said revenue had dropped by 50-60 per cent. "I hope the prostitutes come back," said the owner of one cosmetics retailer.

KTV are open but no FS or parade of MM, they will arrange for u and only con is very difficult to reject. 5 guys go, they will arrange 5 MMs and we fight among ourselves.

打黄 banners in hotel and along the street.

For the 2 nights we are there (in KTV), the GA are there around 9.30pm but didn't enter our room to check and it's over about 20/30 mins time.

The risk factor is still there but I think it should be much lower now.

No hotel room check by GA also.
