Prostitutes ‘more trustworthy’ than officials in China

PROSTITUTES are considered more trustworthy in China than government officials and scientists, a survey of more than 3,000 respondents showed.

The online survey of 3,376 Chinese showed that 7.9% of respondents considered sex workers trustworthy, putting them in third place after farmers and religious workers, the Insight China magazine said on its website.

“A list like this is at the same time surprising and embarrassing,” the China Daily said yesterday, commenting on the result of the survey.
