Guangdong Streetwalkers Doing Business in Green Belt, Sanitation Workers Claim to Have Cleaned Up Over a Hundred Condoms During the Day

On the evening of June 4, at 8:30 pm, Guangdong Foshan ChanCheng Police assembled over 60 officers and conducted a raid along the approximately 2-kilometer stretch of road along Foshan Avenue (Jihua Road-Tangtou Overpass), arresting 13 streetwalkers [prostitutes/whores who solicit business on the streets]. According to police officer Chen of Tongji Local Police Station, this raid is the first large-scale raid of the year. This picture [above] is of the arrested street women in this raid.

Chancheng Police say this green belt has thick bushes, and the lights here are dim. This place was cleared out years ago, and normally there are daily patrols along the road, and plain-clothes officers are dispatched to raid here from time to time, so the phenomenon of streetwalkers has already become scarce. “However, due to the rise in recent temperatures, the streetwalkers have ‘returned’. ” This picture is of the streetwalkers arrested during the crackdown.

At night, under these trees, street women “do business” right where they are. During the day, used condoms numbering over a hundred discarded on the lawn wait for sanitation workers to clean them up. According to reports, this kind of situation has existed for many years, the sanitation workers loudly complaining that they “can’t take it anymore”. Whereas the residents around this area are so scared that they have to take a detour avoiding this road whenever they take a walk. This picture is of the streetwalkers arrested in this raid.

To the east of the intersection between Foshan Avenue and Jihua Road of Chancheng District, there is a large green belt, and along its 350-meter-long lawn from Jihua Road to Yingyin Road, over a hundred used condoms are discovered every day.

This green belt is right next to Foshan Avenue, where the traffic is very heavy. By standing on the sidewalk, one can see every inch of the lawn of the green belt. Near the walls of the Foshan downtown blood bank, the bushes and lawn “hide” many condom packages, wrinkled tissues, and used condoms. This picture is of the randomly discarded used condoms.

Mr. Deng divulged that unless it’s a rainy day, there can be dozens to hundreds of “johns” every day, and even more on weekends. The streetwalkers’ workplace is right on the lawn. Mr. Lu of the nearby Jinziyuan residential community says: “Many times when passing by, I’ve discovered them in the green belt doing that.” According to reports, the streetwalkers’ hours of operation is from about 7:30pm to 4:00am the next morning.

According to nearby residents, most of the “customers” are single men. This reporter discovered during a visit that there are in total 4 construction sites around Lvjing Road, Foshan Car City, and the Jiangwan Overpass surrounding the green belt, while the urban villages [ghettos/shantytowns] such as Tangtou Village, Pan Village, and Jian Village also have many single men without wives nor their own houses or live separate from their wives.
