Shanghai auto show may ban models
     2015-January-12  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    FEMALE models in revealing dresses who stole the spotlight at past car shows may not appear at this year’s Shanghai Automotive Exhibition (SAE).

    Yang Xueliang, director of public relations for Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. Ltd., said he was informed by the organizing committee of the SAE that “auto show models are to be banned this year.”

    However, the organizing committee said that the proposed ban is not a final decision. “We are soliciting public opinions,” it said. The SAE will kick off April 22.

    The organizing committee didn’t give the reason it is considering banning the models, but there has been speculation that the organizers are facing mounting security pressure.

    A stampede in Shanghai that killed 36 people during New Year’s Eve celebrations cast a shadow over urban management and emergency response in crowded cities. After the tragedy, the Shanghai city government announced that mass gatherings and activities will face stricter registration procedures and will be canceled if they violate safety rules.

    Some others speculate the move came out of moral concern, after Chinese censors cropped scenes showing revealing costumes from the historical TV drama “The Empress of China.”

    An unnamed public relations consultant said: “The more attractive the models are, the better publicity a brand can gain.” As a result, the models’ clothing has become increasingly skimpy. The half-naked women were embarrassing to some visitors, especially those attending with children. (Xinhua)
