Seems like the Chinese government wants to contain the spread of sexually transmitted diseases ahead of the Olympics, before diseases once again spread too far and wide to challenge the government for yet another cover up. According to the minutes of the Beijing's city health work meeting yesterday, the capital will make condoms more accessible in area where people socialize and conduct sexual intercourse, such as hotels, nightclubs and construction sites (of all places). Guesthouses and scenic resorts will now be required to put the condoms in room toilets. Condom-selling vendors will be installed near clubs, public baths and major construction sites (again, funny).
Also according to the meeting, "the condoms shall not be used as evidence of prostitution and whoring." Then it appears very mysterious to me as to why they would select such venues and not just hand them out on the street. Wouldn't that receive more exposure? Anyway, that's not my call. The condom placement program is sponsored by the Beijing Municipal AIDS Prevention and Control Working Committee, who also provide training for hotel managers to promote condom usage.
