China “Trusts Prostitutes More”

Apparently, secretaries are not nearly as trustworthy. Now that’s news to me!

China’s prostitutes are better-trusted than its politicians and scientists, according to an online survey published by Insight China magazine.

“The sex workers’ unexpected prominence on this list of honour… is indeed unusual,” said the China Daily editorial.

“At least [the scientists and officials] have not slid into the least credible category which consists of real estate developers, secretaries, agents, entertainers and directors,” the editorial said.

Soldiers came in fourth place.
