Wang-Bas Under Attack
A fire in an unlicensed internet cafe in China has prompted Chinese officials (or rather, given them the excuse they had long been seeking) to shut down thousands of such establishmets across China.
Many Internet cafes were unlicensed and had no fire exits or other required safety features. Officials complained that they also gave young people access to pornography and other harmful material online.
The crackdown adds to efforts by the communist government to control how Chinese use the Internet, even as it encourages the spread of online activity for business and education.
John Derbyshire, on his last visit to China, wrote something of a love letter to these types of establishments, which he identified as “wang-bas”.
You have no doubt been asking yourself how your intrepid correspondent files his copy to NRO from remote parts of China. The answer is wang-ba. Wang means “web” and ba means “bar” (one of the very few loan-words in Mandarin) first bestiality experience. A wang-ba is an Internet cafe. They are all over the place in China ? there must be dozens in Changchun. At any rate, when I enquired for the nearest one in this very ordinary residential neighborhood, it turned out to be just round the corner. You walk in, pay a tiny sum of money ? about one U.S. quarter for an hour ? and surf the web. Nothing seems to be blocked, though I confess I have done no systematic checking. Certainly NRO is not blocked alone sex dog. Before leaving New York I was apprehensive that I might not be able to find a wang-ba, having heard that the government was cracking down on them, had in fact closed 8,000 of them so far this year. I supposed, when I read this, that the crackdown was political ? a way of keeping people in the dark about what’s going on in the rest of the world. No doubt this is something to do with it; but having now frequented three or four of these places, I feel sure that the main motive is social, not political. The wang-ba is low life. The computers are stripped-down, beaten-up and grimy. You sit jammed in an unlit back room with a dozen other tube jockeys, practically all young men of the kind your parents (if you were Chinese) would warn you not to associate with. They have long hair, sometimes dyed surprising colors. They are round-shouldered and sunken-chested bestiality with big cats. They wear T-shirts bearing legends in English that do not quite make sense yet manage nonetheless to be mildly suggestive (SING PRECOCIOUS GIRLS). The air is thick with cigarette smoke. Pop music of the maximum-parental-disapproval variety (which in north China means Cantonese pop from Hong Kong) is being played much too loud through poor speakers. The youths ? definitely “youths,” not “young people” ? converse in slang and croon hoarsely along with the music. Slutty looking girls wearing make-up and short skirts occasionally drift in. A wang-ba is, in short, the Chinese equivalent of a pool parlor. The whole institution labors under the further disadvantage that its name is almost a sound-pun for wang-ba-dan, a common Chinese curse, roughly equivalent to “s.o amateur dog sex.b.” No wonder there are campaigns against the wang-ba. May they never succeed. One of the minor dangers facing China is that it will degenerate into a big Singapore ? drilled, hygienic, and boring as all hell. Let’s hear it for low life. Support your local wang-ba!
