So what explains that the ratio has absurdly dropped after the Police crackdown? Manufacturing is still going on here, actually, manufacturing there is growing stronger as ever, with the workforce Surplus, now, salaries of factory girl workers went down a lot, because we don't have other things to do now besides work in the factories now, so manufacturing has nothing to do with this, and even if it had, a city doesn't become a sex capital because of high-ratio women:men, would be overly simplistic reasoning, and that's what I was replying to,
If this was true, please mind, BaoAn district that belongs to Shenzhen (and where you cannot find a single male boy among thousands of pretty girls if you go to try to get a table at a cheap worker's restaurant at lunch time in a big factory's gate), and every other labor-intense manufacturing hub all over Asia would be Sex capitals, what is not true. The district of BaoAn, in the border between Dongguan and Shenzhen, actually geographically located much more close to Dongguan, but belongs to Shenzhen, and because it belongs to Shenzhen, and not to Dongguan, Sex business is "forbidden", or at least nowhere as freely allowed as Dongguan(was), you can't compare. What get us to the reason a city becomes a Sex Capital in a country where prostitution is forbidden by the law(!)
The reason is that the Gov of that country thinks prostitution is a necessary evil that helps to prevent violence and rape and other things, so this Gov indicates a place where this can happen, for the sake of Society's Harmony(SheHuiHeXie). Almost Every city in China has a street, a neighbourhood, or an area where the Police pretends to crack but let it happen, at least until people start to abuse the relative freedom, because humans cannot have nice things without abusing it, then they will indicate another place to start from scratch.
Vietnam too.

:adding some historical context: It is said that when the Old Wise Man, and this was a Wise one, mind you, Lao Deng (Old deng Xiao Pin) Decide that the few thousand people small fisher's village named Shenzhen was meant to become the 10 million people's Heart of Pearl River's Delta(the biggest Industrial Manufacturing Hub Ever built by hummanity, probably) Lao Deng decided to aloow the creation of what was called back then ErNaiLou( in a literal translation word by word: Second Milk Building(not clear)), but this was a building full of small rooms for the factory workers to get SocietyHarmonized( In the good meaning of this verb, it has a bad meaning too, related to execution of death penalty)
