China has launched a fresh crackdown on funeral strippers.
The Ministry of Culture said it would target "obscene, pornographic and vulgar performances" at funerals and weddings.
Some rural communities in China believe hiring performers can increase attendance at funerals, with high attendance seen as a way of honoring the deceased.
In a bid to show off their disposable income and boost numbers, some households pay out more than their annual incomes for strippers, but also actors, singers and comedians, the Global Times reported.
