News Briefs China to Lift Ban on Condom AdvertisementsDecember 9, 2002 China's State Administration of Industry and Commerce, whose 1989 regulations banned the advertisement of all products related to sexual activity, announced on World AIDS Day it will begin allowing condom ads next year. "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.
