‘Much needed’: China bans hidden cameras in hotels, dorms amid voyeurism fears

Violence offences have long been common in many East Asian nations. &nbsp,

Women in South Korea are concerned about being filmed without their consent in public places because of the use of surveillance cameras, and it is still a major issue for public safety. &nbsp,

Spycam cases are frequently reported in hotels and guesthouses in China, where innocent guests discover cameras hidden in obscure locations like air vents, side lamps, or inside walls. &nbsp,

Online, Chinese social media users weighed in on the new regulations. Some welcomed the Apr 1 police. &nbsp,

” This ( news ) has been a long time coming”, said a user by the handle myluoluo on the Sina Weibo microblogging site, writing on a Weibo topic thread which attracted more than 800, 000 comments. ” Caseloads shouldn’t be just numbers, many women have been very affected by this and hopefully this will bring about change and action” .&nbsp,

Another expressed hope that the new regulations would help to standardize and control already-existing steps. ” Culprits always try to deflect blame or deny their presence. Now with official rules stating an outright ban, no one can escape criminal activity” .&nbsp,

Weibo users Bang Xiao commented,” I believe this is a much-needed reply that conveys a information.” That pedophiles may be held accountable for their crimes and are not allowed to escape punishment.
