BEIJING —
A kiss cost $21 in a Chinese restaurant--and the manager his job, and possibly his life--after police raided the establishment in a crackdown on prostitution.
The police raid “caught 14 criminals right in the middle of their dirty acts,” Shanghai’s Xinmin Evening News reported. It said a kiss cost $21 in the restaurant. Other prices were not given.
Procuring prostitutes is a crime punishable by death in China.
