CHINA has ordered all hotels, holiday resorts and public showers to provide condoms




CHINA has ordered all hotels, holiday resorts and public showers to provide condoms, part of nationwide efforts to fight the spread of AIDS, a newspaper said today.

The regulation, issued by the commerce and health ministries, also required pamphlets about AIDS prevention to be displayed, the Beijing News said.

China originally stigmatised AIDS as a disease of the decadent, capital West - a problem of gays, sex workers and drug users. Traditionally, none of these officially existed in communist China.

It has belatedly woken up to the problem and health experts have warned the virus is now moving into the general population.

[北京 27日 ロイター] エイズ感染予防対策の一環として、中国当局は全てのホテルやリゾート施設、公共シャワーにコンドームを常備することを命じた

中国は当初、エイズを同性愛者や売春、ドラッグなどの問題をかかえる西洋の“退廃的な病気”だと非難していた。また、これらの問題は共産主義の中国では存在しないとされていた。
