The Protestant "Christian" groups in Taiwan have been lobbying the government to have Prosetution be legal to have "compassion" on poor women. Taiwan has been opening up to relations with Mainland China and has been promoting all kinds of Tourism, including sex tourism. I, opinion, think that it is a way that they want to use to try and get the population up, since the population replacement rate is below 1% and people really don't like children or unsightly larger families.
