Photographs of skimpily dressed models at the recent Chengdu Motor Show in Sichuan province have been doing the rounds of the Internet and drawn widespread criticism. The photographs reflect the unhealthy use of women to make money and the abhorrent norms of competition that have come to rule the market, says an article in Xi'an Evening News. Excerpts:
