Q: Anyone like the "In Pictures" section?
Now and then there's a series of relevant news photos, or amusing stories. But a lot of the time, it's just random photos taken of 'fashion girls' (the term is so overused, people almost forget that the correct adjective is 'fashionable'). I wonder what they're for? Even with the Great Firewall, I could find much better things to fap to if I wanted. The ones taken at auto shows and other promotions make sense, since they're covertly promoting a product. But why all those peeping Chen uploads? They just seem to be pictures of street meat taken without the girls' consent as they were walking by. It reminds me way too much of the stare treatment we expats get on the street. I start to worry if the random non-consensual photos people take of me on the street end up on some site as a strange form of entertainment.

If you look at all the advertisements placed by schools on the web or their front windows, you'd realize that most are of Caucasians for one simple reason. To tell people that they have laowais as teachers. I don't doubt that many of these are used without consent. I also doubt that complaints by the owners of those images used would do any good. In this country, copyright laws are next to non existent. Even so, you are right in that the meaningless '"fashion girls" images are, well, meaningless.
A year or two ago the pictures section of the website was a lot more pervy. Lots of covert pics up girls' dresses (asleep on trains, climbing over barriers, getting off motorbikes, etc.).
These seem to have been replaced by innocuous photos of moderately rich and completely fashionless Chinese women, mistakenly labeled "fashion girls".
As to what Chinese people are doing with random, non-consensual photos of you, just wait while I type in a few things here....
"Your search - 'coineineagh upskirt pics' - did not match any results."
Damn.

Glad I didnae bring me kilt!
Also, my porn site needs better SEO staff if it didn't turn up in the results... {FYI, that was a joke}
Duh... The job section is what brings revenue to run the website (running servers, maintaining the site is not done on fresh air and love, more like electricity and time).
I have two hypothesis
- The pictures, the forum and the news item are just to attract readers to the job section. How to attract people, well, put pictures of young girls with flesh exposed, within the limit of the socially acceptable (which is fuzzy).
- The website is run as a way to show what Chinese media won't show much (news items here don't give a rosy image of the country and its social life). The pictures are part of this social mission, they show things as they are on a daily basis (local fashion tastes for instance). The job session is a way to fund this.
Look at what kind of answers get promoted as 'Answers of the day', does not sound like a CCP zealot behind this website.
Is it much different from what the "proper news sites" has ? http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/photo/china.html (I naturally did write this without needing a laugh break)
What do you expect a website run by creeps to publish on their front page?
