January 5, 2009, an article entitled "Training in Guangxi Yizhou" Miss "controversial" messages on the network quickly spread. The content of the post from the blog "Mi Rui-lan," was written in December 16, 2008, "Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Yizhou, what bills you what" Bowen. Bowen at the beginning of this publication, in addition to blog in a few laps to be added for the "essence", but also did not arouse much concern. Jingchu network until the contents of written reports, stir constantly until the network thread. Xinhua, People, Sina, Sohu and other major portal sites have reproduced the relevant graphic.

Saga arose as a result of AIDS in China is becoming a grim reality of the high-risk areas. At present, HIV-infected persons in our country about 84 million people. If it does not take active and effective measures by the year 2010, the Chinese will be infected with HIV more than 10 million people. Guangxi is China's number of AIDS infections, one of a relatively large number of provinces, a large number of AIDS infected people, 86% were infected through sexual intercourse means AIDS. April 2008, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Yizhou to "love the Red Ribbon association," the name of the "Guangxi, the sixth round of Global Fund AIDS Project", 22 in Guangxi has become one of the implementation of the project. The project is an international organization assistance to China's AIDS prevention and control projects, with emphasis on the use of non-governmental organizations engaged in services of low-level sex workers to intervene. Thus, despite the CDC in Yizhou, "Ms. training" in terms of publicity flaw does exist, but its original intention was to interfere with the special people, that white is the most easily spread of AIDS, where high-risk groups to promote the work of AIDS knowledge.

"Miss training" after the news media found both on the "Mi Rui-lan" to refute the points that Ms. training can "to reduce sexually transmitted diseases, infectious diseases, the spread of AIDS is everyone's responsibility!" [1] also express shock : "Even trained Miss should, dare to openly engage in", "This is really the彪悍." [2] more Internet users are asked: here, the public security organs, "anti-vice," disease control department is there to "Miss" openly engage in "training", this is not recognition of sex services?

Google on the author of "Miss training" as the keyword search, has hit the 577,000 entries. Site in the major, many Internet users to "open the identity of <sex workers> public security efforts do not also handle the" "To prevent AIDS, the legalization of the sex trade is因噎废食" "With a condom on the legitimate right" and the title the space devoted by the criticism of the article. This text focuses on the firepower of a focus on: disease control department so seriously for the "Miss" on training, in which they promote the use of condoms, disease control departments do not know that sex is illegal in China, it? Internet users and even believe that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention to carry out this type of "training, Miss" event, the surface may seem to have a national policy is reasonable and legitimate, but through the surface, this "farce" are open to the public on the "Miss "prostitution, the default is to make a mockery of the laws of the state, trampling, and a declaration of war. [3]

Think of in recent years in many parts of China's disease control department to carry out similar activities, whether it is held in Harbin CDC "Miss training", or Guangzhou, "high-risk behavior intervention team" of players with nearly 40 "Miss "read" Healthy vowed, "would give rise to each event on the network of people, as well as a dispute, a debate. Can be seen, "Miss training" not only for Disease Control and Prevention revealed the helpless, the embarrassment of law enforcement, the more Wei Road sigh.

As we all know, the sex trade is not a simple social problem, it has a very complex social causes, many governments are trying to stop this ugly social phenomenon. And when the government tried to prevent such illegal sex trade, it must decide to stop the buyer or seller. The governments of most countries will be sellers as the goals and efforts to track targets, because the only way to enable the Government to obtain the largest amount of investment interest. Therefore, in the United States, except in Nevada, some of the local transaction is considered legal, sex workers must be registered to the local government, and in particular the scope of the brothel to engage in business, health institutions for prostitutes to do a week of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS test in addition, 49 other U.S. states have identified as the illicit trade in prostitution, the Government has adopted various means to be banned. However, you have a policy, she has countermeasures. Too easy because of the fixed place of discovery and a surprise attack by the police, sex workers are usually the form of street prostitution in the streets, often a change of venue in order to increase the difficulty of police arrest. Therefore, the U.S. government ban on the sex trade efforts and remarkable success has not made, or said that the U.S. government to stop the sex trade in the area doing nothing, means that the failure of these efforts. Therefore, scholars from the United States concluded that "When the government artificially trying to prevent mutually beneficial transactions, even if the efforts of even the best can not be achieved remarkable success." [4] our government long-term adherence to the "anti-vice" policy, sometimes even on the sex trade to implement the "strike hard", not to be quite tremendous efforts, the payment is not high cost, but all over the entertainment "business" can not always banned. It is clear that law enforcement agencies alone can not fundamentally resolve to combat the sex trade the problem.

Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Yizhou "training Miss" events to draw people and the sex trade should be legalized, whether the services have the right to dispose of their own bodies, social services, how to treat, the protective services of personal and property security and so on. In other words, the Government can take the best of both worlds in the end of the policy? Organizations through the dissemination of the litter in the decision-making methods of thinking, I believe that sex in the treatment of this complex decision-making, we must pay attention to the moral meaning of the policy to seize appropriate opportunities for decision-making, waiting for the right time for policy innovation.

(1) pay attention to the moral content of public policy. China since ancient times, is a strong moral tradition of the country. Pirates of obscenity and violence against the community for the ages, sex has always been despised by the people. Therefore, easily allow legalized sex industry, the protection of the personal safety of traders, not only in the lack of a wide range of social and moral support, the Government obviously difficult to achieve. This is also the current government decision-making at the root causes of this dilemma: to solve the problem of priority, the protection of vulnerable life and health of workers, so that the legalization of the sex trade, it is embarrassing; priority of moral values, is strictly prohibited transactions, and continue to maintain the past policy, so that the lives of vulnerable persons and property continue to be deprived of the evil forces, continue to be health hazards, and to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases to the community, but also in a difficult position. [5] Clearly, such a dilemma in the current under control by the disease control departments of disease and maintenance of basic human rights of sex workers in the perspective of the "AIDS" health training, use of technical means to make up for deficiencies in law enforcement, and public manifestation of social progress sector responsibility, no doubt have a positive social meaning, this is the reality of social conditions in a realistic second-best moral choice.

(2) the appropriate policy decisions to grasp the opportunity. Government decision-making related to all aspects of the complexity of factors, not just a simple process of rational analysis. Theory of decision-making organizations to think "trash the decision-making model" view that public policy must be in a particular decision-making opportunities or requirements may arise to make. This is because the government decision-making involved in political activities, than are usually envisaged to be much more different between the interests of Union decision-making process to a wide range of transactions and conflict. Deal with the issue of the sex trade, the governments of the world there is a heated debate the Government's public policy and many have some degree of indecisiveness. This situation can only note the sex trade-related aspects of government decision-making time is not ripe. At present, both values are still the rule of law is undergoing a transformation in such a pluralistic society, the rash may lead to rash decision-making more problems. Therefore, we must patiently wait for the right opportunity for policy decisions. Decision-making opportunities that may come from both the incident with the conventional choice of the institutionalization of opportunity may also come from an accident caused by external influences of the choice may come from the process caused by social choice, which social process can only be by the issue of sex workers should be taken by the growing awareness of the measures arising.

(3) waiting for a suitable time for policy innovation. Government, as the social management of the largest organizations of its decision-making rather than arbitrary. If in a particular environment, actors, solutions, issues and options there are complex interactions between, then the simplest is the time of the order of the source. In many ways, the effective policy for each of the innovation process on the establishment of the categories in terms of time, according to the synchronization problem, the people, problems and solutions together. [6] Therefore, the time constraints of policy innovation is a great strength. For example, in the United States, before the 1914 cocaine transactions are legitimate, today not. Alcoholic beverages in the United States today is legitimate, but in 1920 that between 1933 and did not. Prostitution in Nevada today is legitimate, in another 49 states are not. This has fully demonstrated that any government decision-making is a constant innovation to adapt to the process of social change. The occurrence of such innovation depends not only on the right opportunity, but also the appropriate decision-making depends on the correct time. In other words, innovation in government decision-making process, there are some exogenous, dependent on the timing of opportunities, problems, solutions and decision-makers. Often a rational and effective public policies introduced, not only with the problems and solutions related to each other and their choices, problems and solutions related between each other, but not because they exist between the relationship between means and results, but because their time more close. One could even say that almost any policy innovation can be a problem and any relevant - as long as they appear at the same time.
