My daughter visited the place, was around Shanghai.

She spoke of brothels the size of walmarts here... 5000 whores in them. The lines of men visiting them went for blocks away but they moved at walking speed.

The terrible experiment with only 1 child allowed left 90 percent of the people picking male offspring.

You're looking at what happens to the female offspring; they are sold for a very high price and the parents can live nicely afterwards.

I travel to China 2-3 times per year, and have spent a good amount of time in and around the Shanghai area, as well as Guangzhou (Canton). I have no idea where your daughter went, but I doubt seriously there are any places as she describes. The Chinese would simply not allow it.

What is prevalent are the young girls from the inner provinces who prostitute themselves openly on the street, and the young men who try to hustle every passerby with counterfeit or stolen goods. Shanghai is an absolutely beautiful city - the skyline of Pudong along the Pu River rivals any city in the world - with modern and old European areas.

But it has a very dark, very sad side. The rich in China are as rich as upper middle class and upper class Americans - but the poor live in far worse conditions than the average person in America under the poverty level.

The Chinese would not tolerate whorehouses the size of WalMarts as that type of behavior is just not Chinese. What they do tolerate (or ignore) is the millions of undocumented citizens illegally plying their trades or their bodies on the streets of the coastal cities. It's truly sad.

The difference between the rich and the poor in China will become a far bigger issue soon for them. I don't know what affect it will have on their political or economic landscape, but I don't think it will be good.

I lived in Shanghai for the past two and half years. Sorry, but such place doesn't exist. While prostitution is in fact rampant, it is also technically still illegal. There is no way the government would turn a blind eye towards anything remotely like what you described.

And it's just not a very Chinese behavior - standing in line for a bonk.

And it's not 90% picking male offsprings, the gender inbalance is something like 1.2 boy to 1 girl since the one child policy went into effect in 1988 - which is significantly out of whack to the norm of 1.05 girl to 1 boy, but it's hardly 90% one gender.

In Shanghai? Sorry, but that's the biggest BS I heard all day. Wrong city to BS with. You'd be hard pressed finding any brothel in Shanghai unless you are very well connected (believe me, me and my friends have tried), and the brothels that do exist in Shanghai certainly won't be anywhere as conspicuous as Walmart-sized brothels with lines of men blocks long.

Chinese society is very conservative and puritan. The richer they are, the more conservative they get. Your BS about Walmart sized brothels might have been able to pass in some impoverished Chinese village-town near the Thailand border, but Shanghai? Give me a break.
