Japanese orgy in Zhuhai hotel sparks Chinese fury

politics > symbolic sex > international
"A hotel orgy involving nearly 400 Japanese male tourists and 500 Chinese prostitutes has sparked outrage on the mainland.
People were angry both because of the scale of the incident and the sensitive timing - two days before the 72nd anniversary of the start of the Japanese army's occupation of Northeast China in 1931."
There is a doctoral thesis in this item just waiting to be written. It would involve viewing sexuality as punishment/reward and triumph/humiliation according to sexual roles, stirring national sensitivities, national attitudes towards sex, symbolism as a factor of international relations, the historical roots of chinese animosity towards Japan and a Pazolinian (or de Sade-esque) description of 900 persons taking part in a sexual orgy that lasted three days.
Apparently the police "... have detained half a dozen people in connection with [these] claims..."
Meanwhile China itself is taking steps to curb the unsocial behavior of Chinese abroad... I'm aware of a few EU member countries that would be well advised to try out something similar.
