Let's look beyond the prostitutes

The closure of the Heaven Earth Nightclub for at least 10 days indicates the authorities' zero tolerance of underground gangs, says Bai Yansong, a CCTV commentator.

Bai says the move is more than a showcase of Beijing's new police chief but is part of what is necessary to build the city into a great capital.

The nightclub has long been notorious for the extravagant consumption that goes on inside and alleged illegal activities, such as the providing of sexual services.
