CNN.com – China to lift condom ad ban – Dec. 2, 2002
Alarmed at the prospect of an explosion of HIV/AIDS cases, authorities in China are planning to lift a long-standing ban on condom advertisements, state media has reported.
According to the English-language China Daily newspaper, the ban will be removed early next year as part of an effort to promote safe sex and encourage users to select the right kind of condom for their needs.
Yes, yes, sexually transmitted deseases. All good. But, are we sure this isn’t some clandestine effort to slow the population growth of this soon to be very powerful nation?
