    I have a friend who lived in Shanghai for work for awhile. He was dragged to a bar by some co-workers and a pimp kept bothering him with offers of girls. Finally, although he isn't gay, he said he was so the pimp would leave him alone. Five minutes later a second pimp sat down at the bar stool next to him, smiled, and said that he heard he liked guys and that he had a bunch of young men he could get him. The poor guy just couldn't win

    I was in Jinan for a few days on a business trip, about 2004, and our group stayed at the Sofitel Hotel downtown, which was this circular tower sort of building of maybe 30 or 40 floors. The hotel operated a brothel in-house. In the middle of the main floor was a circular bar, with a circular elevated dance stage at the center, and a circular perimeter array of booths and a mezzanine level with balcony above with private, kind of closed in booth/rooms with glass panels and lots of mahogany paneling. At intervals a hotel guest would go up to one of the little rooms, then an older grey haired lady would come out from a lower hallway dressed in black, with about half a dozen girls in tow, all in black dresses, and off the group would go to the mezzanine room with the dude, then the old lady would return with her gaggle minus one, who would slip down on her own later. Repeat at another room every 15-30 minutes or so.

They had lockers and my wife said no to the lockers - the place was not clean, but the worse part was the pool itself. there were children playiung around in what looked liked bags of chips and plastic bottles. I wore a bathing suit and my wife and her sister ju7mped in. I was really hesitant. I sat on the edge of the pool it smelled like urinr and other kinds of bathroom humour ha ha ha . My wife asked me why I didn't go in. She lived in the U.S., I asked her if she ever went swimming in the U.S. She complained the U.S. pools used too much chlorine, but, so much.and cleaner. I didn't have any flirtation incidents, mostly because my wife and her family had a tight hold on me ha ha ha .

The brothel owners are probably tipped off in advance, no one gets in serious trouble, and the brothels almost always reopen again shortly afterward.

    Funnily enough, in medieval Europe the bathhouses (yes, people of all classes bathed, and more often than you may think) were often rife with prostitution as well. In fact, one of the reasons why people today believe that medieval Europeans thought bathing was a sin was because of polemics written by the clergy against that sort of bathhouse/brothel institution. So yeah, people valued hygiene back then, and one of the reasons why we believed they didn't was due to moral policing by the clergy of the time.

      There are more than plenty of massage parlors within the U.S. that are essentially the same sort of places being shown in this videos. Ironically many of them are run by Chinese immigrants and the workers are mostly Chinese or Asian. As much as I like the content of this channel and agree with their general point of view about China and CCP I found their opinions quite embarrassing at time (one example of top of my head is how they associated 'class' with Beverly Hill). Prostitution is/has been an issue within the U.S. even though it is no where near China in terms of scale. The issue is far more complicated than 'oh I am a married man, that's why I am staying the hell away from these brothel'. There are valid arguments from both side of the coins (pro and anti-prostitution). Pornography is legal in the U.S. as well as many other countries in the world but prostitution is not going any where even if it is mostly illegal within the U.S. I understand that they wanted to point out the hypocrisy of the CCP's moral-driven 'laws' but if anything the questions and arguments regarding prostitution is not as black and white as they think.

      I was on a trip to Shenzhen about 20 years ago. My friends took me to this shady ghetto back street to sight see. It wasn't just one street but a grid of back alleys filled with Amsterdam Red light District-like brothels, but with far less barriers (no windows or doors) and far more sex workers 'on duty'. I didn't have the courage to purchase any service from them but it surely was eye-opening.

    To C-Milk and Winston, I love what you guys are doing. You are one of the few channels on RUclips that I watch regularly. I know your content doesn’t draw a lot of viewers compared to other stupid nonsense tiktok but I think there’s a good chance your channels will blow up in the future, considering the escalating tension between China and the West. I love your integrity and that you are being truthful. I wish you could be more unfiltered but I know it’s hard to be on this platform. From my experience growing up in Vietnam, I know that you are telling the truth about China. Vietnam has so many similarities to China but would not sit on the same boat (weird). So haters gonna hate, they are either to dumb and uninformed to see the truth or bunch of disgusting liers. Anyway I wish you guys the best of luck!

I can definitely relate to some of the stories you've shared on your adv podcasts, since I've travelled to several different provinces on my free time including the Dongbei region. However, despite the more hostile changes in china's government & political atmosphere, especially towards Canadians like me, I still feel like I need more adventures doing what you guys have done.
    I am fascinated by the situations described when you had to communicate with white Russian people in Mandarin (the country's language), because they couldn't speak English. Indeed that must feel incredibly bizzare! I was in a similar situation speaking chinese with Kazakhs in Horgos. As for the Russians who wanted to try your bikes in Dalian, I'm glad that didn't end in a fight.

They were all dressed in short skirts and heels and I thought to myself wow, so obvious yet hidden. A short ways away there was this humungous building that looks like a karaoke bar and they had all these women, dressed nicely in revealing skirts and heels in formation at the entrance. It waas very weird stuff, not something you'll see in the US (at least the way it's done in China) but now I know it must've been some prostitution bar under the guise of karaoke. I asked the lady who ran a little snack shop next to it what was going on but didn't have good enough Chinese to understand.

    Karaoke and hair salons were the common fronts for brothels in Vietnam too. There were very few good bands playing in the city, occasional international acts but nobody that good, boring pub bands playing the same boring songs, and the local focus was on chintzy pop, so we got into karaoke as a kind of DIY show.
    Walking into a karaoke joint was always the same story:
    Manager: There are no rooms. We are full.
    Us: We don't want girls. Just to sing.
    Manager: We have many rooms...
