China to Lift Ban on Condom Advertisements

December 9, 2002

"The ban should have been lifted a long time ago because condoms are the most effective tools not only for avoiding pregnancy, but also protecting people and their partners from sexually transmitted disease," An Bohua, a state family planning official, told the China Daily.
