The Beijing police have made its biggest catch of foreign prostitutes soliciting business in hotels and expensive residential buildings. The move is significant because it might lead to action against foreign patrons of prostitutions, and possibly involve foreign investors and diplomats, observers said.
The police have arrested a total 112 sex workers including 27 foreign nationals by cracking down on four prostitution rings. Very few foreign prostitutes have been arrested in the past though they have been operating for a long time. There are signs the government would press ahead with its new enthusiasm for moral policing without worrying about loss of some investments and influence among certain foreigners.
"The case involved the highest number of foreign arrests in Beijing...

But the police did not give out the nationalities of foreign sex workers. Full story...
