SIVA Points: Join Date: Jan 17, 2006 Status: offline Community Moderator	Dear all, Over the past few days, we have noticed that some members complained about the ‘female travel companions’ threads posted in the board of ‘Travel Companions’ in our forum. It has been a hard nut for our community moderators. Over the years, Travel China Guide Community has been aiming to offer best travel service to our fellow members and handle all your problems regarding your trip to China. Our initiative of openning the board of ‘Travel Companions’ is to provide a platform for our fellow members to find travel buddies on the way to China. We didn’t specify that ‘members are not allowed to post ‘female companions wanted’ threads in the board of ‘Travel Companions’. If we did that way, it would be unreasonable and we would have been damned. To prohibit posting ‘female companions’ thread would be equal to deprive some virtuous female holiday-makers of the right to interact with the buddies of their fair sex. Additionally, it is not justifiable to forbid those members of integrity finding travel buddies of opposite sex. Undoubtedly, some dudes would take advantage of the opportunity to cheat some innocent girls. Indeed, it is sad to say that cheating is everywhere, but it is an undeniable truth. Herein, we community moderators hope both members and guests to be alert and have the right sense of judgement. Meanwhile, we don’t mean to paint all those who want to find travel companions of opposite sex with the same brush. We believe that a marority of our members have a moral standard. We restate that those who with malicious intentions are not welcomed in our community. Anyone who wants to find a hooker is not welcome. We alert our fellow members to the hidden tricks.

Dear all,

Wanting female guide/interpreter not meant the clients seeking for hooker. Its the personal choice of clients. If any body wants hooker, he has many ways.

In my 16 years Chinese business, I did not utilize any boy interpreter/helper, its my personal choice for business security. And I personally prefer this job for the girls as here no physical strength involvements. So this is my personal request don't darken this job unnecessarily.

Thanks others for their notes on this thread. I think those comments (on which this thread started) were immature and below the standard of the usual visitors of this site

I agree with Lionpower, it's really a matter of choice on what type of person you want as your guide. We live in a society full of prejudice and stating a mere preference clearly does not constitute to discrimination.

Some people are clearly far fetched by saying stating a preference is against Chinese Law. We are in China for heavens sake, personal/corporate tax evasion considered a norm, guanxi money is not corruption etc. etc.

Of course there are certain individuals who go over board when describing their preference but everything boils down to choice and common sense (to ignore some posts). Also remember that it takes two to work.

Well said Siva.That's the way it should be. Asking for a female travelling companion or interpreter is a matter of personal choice. I do agree that there are some who went overbaord but generally I feel that most members here are well behaved.

"Of course there are certain individuals who go over board when describing their preference but everything boils down to choice and common sense (to ignore some posts). Also remember that it takes two to work. "

Totally agree with you.

In yiwu, many foreign people rented an office and just prefer to emply girls as their translators and assistants. I used to ask about the reasons, all I got is that what they considered most is the business security, girl's non-ambition and circumspection as well.
