I guess the last time they cracked down didn't take.

They aren't finished doing the research. A lot of research and field work, with visits and pictures must go into these things you know...

I've been told that strippers are just a regular part of many Chinese organised events, but in particular at funerals, to make sure that people attend.

My girlfriend used to work as a buyer for a Chinese export business, visiting clothing factories to source likely product. She was invited to attend a company dinner at one factory, at which the stripper refused to undress completely because there was a woman present. The stripper just went down to her underwear and finished the show, leaving the male diners very dissatisfied. They didn't invite any women to subsequent company dinners.

This dates back to the Qin Dynasy when important officials would be buried with a throng of terracotta strippers to guard them in the afterlife by distracting horny dragon bailiffs that threatened to drag them off to courts in Diyu to face trail for their corruption in office.
