Local officials found that hundreds of cafés and e-sports venues in Yiwu were offering maid café-style services, with female servers forced to kneel to serve tea, massage male customers, and shout “Welcome home, my master!” to anyone entering.
The procuratorate brought a public interest lawsuit to a local court, arguing that such services “belittle and damage women’s rights to human dignity.” They also said that some local businesses had failed to take measures to protect their female staff from sexual harassment.

Sounds like banning this might not be such a bad thing? Stricter regulation and severe penalties for violators would maybe help instead, but I don’t know enough about Chinese culture to really be able to comment on whether that would even be effective. At least taking steps to make sure this doesn’t continue is a net benefit, I think.
There is something else making this move on than the suffering of women. Probably because this way they get to shame Japanese maid cafes. Not that the idea of those isnt weird.

There is a noticeable difference in the number of men and women from the one child policy because little girls were getting killed.

I hadn’t heard it before, but sheng nu seems to be a government recognized term.
