'prostitute training course' in China

A video that appears to show a group of Chinese prostitutes on a crash course on how to use the internet to better peddle their services has gone viral online.
The two-minute clip begins with an instructor - dressed in a smart black suit and white shirt - telling the vice girls that social media, such as Chinese Twitter, is not only the best way to market themselves to 'rich clients' but also to siphon off 'losers'.
The leaked video captures the teacher explaining how her course will teach them something 'practical' so they can boost their client pool and make more money.
'All of you want to have more clients - more tips, right?' the lecturer says on the video. 'I will teach you how to use social networking media skills to expand your client base.'

The two-minute clip was apparently filmed on a prostitute's mobile phone

While prostitution is illegal in China, it is increasing rapidly throughout the country's expanding urban sprawls.The sex toy industry is also sharply expanding, with some figures suggesting that China provides products for up to 70 % of the global industry.
