Three state-owned Chinese enterprises have denied rumors that their executives ate sushi off the naked bodies of porn stars — and had sex with them — during a trip to Japan last year, reports the World Journal, a US-based daily Chinese-language newspaper.
According to an article published in Japanese magazine Flash, a number of senior executives from the state-owned Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, CITIC Group and China National Petroleum Corporation traveled to Japan last autumn and paid a 20,000-yen (US$255) entry fee to experience nyotaimori, or "body sushi," the erotic culinary practice of serving sashimi or sushi from the naked body of a woman.
The source, a staff member from a Japanese business consulting firm, said the dinner took place at a high-end restaurant in Tokyo's lively Roppongi district and involved a famous actress from Japan's adult film industry whose popularity rivals that of Sora Aoi, China's most beloved Japanese porn star. At the end of the night, the attendees were given a special offer to take the star back to their hotel room for 150,000 yen (US$1,915) per hour, the source added.
Another source claimed that he chaperoned a provincial Communist Party leader and officials from state-owned enterprises during a visit to Japan in May. The trip was said to be aimed at strengthening ties with Japanese corporations and politicians but the true purpose was to party with stars from Japan's adult film industry, the source said. The officials also allegedly organized nyotaimori with a famous porn star, who went back to the hotel room of the most senior official at the conclusion of the meal. None of the other officials left empty-handed either, the source added.
In late April, state-owned PetroChina was also involved in a scandal where it was alleged that executives were bribed with sexual services from porn stars in a sex party of S&M and costume play.
The reports have sparked a furious backlash on China's microblogs, with many suspecting that the services were paid for with public funds. "We don't care what you do with porn stars as long as it's not paid for by our tax money!" wrote one angry netizen.
Others were more (sarcastically) understanding, claiming that it was merely part of an anti-Japan strategy stemming from the ongoing Diaoyu (Senkaku) islands territorial dispute between the two countries.
"They couldn't go to the Diaoyu islands, so they decided to penetrate the enemy from behind instead!" a netizen said.
