In Taipei, sex-trade rebound is uncertain: once-thriving industry may not return after reform mayor's defeat
Article Abstract:
Sex-related trade in Taipei, Taiwan is not expected to recover its previous vigor even after reform Mayor Chen Shui-bian has been defeated in the elections. People engaged voted for Chen's opponent Ma Ying-jeou in retaliation for Chen's closure of more than 400 sex-related establishments. However, the trade has only grown slightly five months after the elections. Some believe that because of the more liberal attitudes of the younger generation towards sex, the need for prostitution has drastically declined.
