By ALISA TANG, Associated Press Writer A string of lights spells out the name of the bar in the back of the basement in capital letters, PARADISE. A dozen Chinese women in skintight miniskirts and halter tops flit around clusters of beefy Western men and flirt in broken English.
Now and then, a man and woman climb the stairs to the upper reaches of the house, where Paradise does its real business.
Paradise is a brothel in an unmarked residential compound in an upscale Kabul neighborhood where prostitutes from China cater to Western men. Since the U.S.-led invasion in 2001, thousands of Westerners working for security firms, companies and aid groups have poured into Afghanistan. Not long after came Chinese prostitutes, in some cases trafficked into the country.
The International Organization for Migration helped 96 Chinese women who were deported in 2006. They told IOM they were deceived by a travel agency in China and promised employment in a restaurant for $300 a month. But when they arrived, they said, the Chinese restaurant owner denied them salary and forced them to provide sexual services by night.
An IOM staffer said one Chinese woman thought she was going to work in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and had no idea she had instead landed in Kabul.
Afghan officials deny these claims.
“These young women are someones daughter, someones sister, maybe someones mom. Its heartbreaking.”

It sometimes is even worse than that.
It is not unknown, for families to actually sell the daughter into such a situation, in some countries in that part of the world.
A teenager girl invited her new boyfriend over for dinner and suggested that they could make love afterwards. On his way over, the boy stopped at the pharmacy and asked for advice in selecting a condom. When he sat down at her parents dinner table, he bowed his head deeply in prayer. After several minutes, the girl interrupted, “You’ve been praying a long time. I didn’t know that you were so religious.” Without looking up, the boy said, “I’m not praying. I just didn’t know that your father was a pharmacist.”
Geez, that woman is so skinny I wonder if...Never mind.
yet they import prostitutes.
Ironic is it not?
If you ever personally knew this scum called men, anyone not covered in Burka is considered a prostitute and fair game, which is why so many Western Women are raped for walking down the street alone in Muslim countries, you just don’t hear about it in the American Press
this scum called men
that came out wrong, not a sexist thing, I am a man, it is a cultural statement
Western women could put out (pun intended) of business these prostitues in a New York minute, but no, feminazi misandry, now playing at the workplace near you, is so MUCH fun!
Which is why so many American and European men are living in Asia
But will this not piss the mooslim women off?
with all those mercs, bodyguards, UN employees making a lot money due to high risk pay etc, i've wondered what they 'do' in their free time.
Hillary doesn’t need Chinese prostitutes. She has Huma Abedin.
Anchors aweigh
My choice? I’m gonna be in that loooooooonnngg MF line.
There are lots of Nepalese hookers there, too.
Mostly western men go to hookers there. The Afghan men are too interested in each other and young boys.
No... I never was man (or woman) enough to wear the uniform. But I do thank the military for the fact that I am so skilled in the English language. :)
I know about that. Many of those families are tricked also, being told their daughters will become servants for well-off families, or work in the laundry, or restaurants. They’re told their girls will still be able to go to school and earn good money at the same time. Yes, some do sell their girls and that is heartbreaking too. Have you ever heard of Somaly Mam? She’s doing a lot of good work in fighting human trafficking.
Just trying to keep the Western men happy and away from their own women.
