The lurid story of “Red Uncle” in China is popular online

Beijing (Reuters) – The story of a middle-aged Chinese man or “uncle” who pretended to be a woman, filmed secretly and filmed and shared videos of connection with more than 1,000 men shocked China’s social media and inspired fears of public health, privacy, privacy and marriage loyalty.
The hash tag “Uncle Red” was the hottest project on China’s popular Weibo on Tuesday, attracting at least 200 million views due to users’ incredible and shocking expressions.
The online post tells how the man in the eastern city of Nanjing seduced 1,691 heterosexual men in his home, and he recorded and distributed it online.
The video sharing was confirmed by police in a statement Tuesday. They said the man, commonly known as Otaku, was detained on Sunday for allegedly spreading obscene materials.
But police said, as social media posts say, Jiao was 38, not 60. They also denied that he had an intimate meeting with more than 1,000 men, but did not give a single number.
Can’t contact jao immediately for comment.
In China, same-sex relationships are not illegal, but the spread of sexual imagery can be punished by law.
Taking photos of sexual activities in a private setting and sharing them also violates privacy rights and can be considered a criminal offense.
Social media users also distributed nearly 100 male outbreaks, which were headshots in encountering “Uncle Red”, prompting some people to mock suggestions, urging women to check if their fiancé or husband is featured.
Many social media users have expressed concerns about the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, with one warning introducing a “big headache” from epidemic prevention authorities.
A city health official told state-backed JIMU news that appropriate measures will be taken.
“If you are in close contact and worry about your health, you can always come to us for a test.”
