The reason why Dongguan is empty is to eliminate pornography.

Yes According to the query of official website, Dongguan, "Dongguan Empty City" means that in 20 14 years, large-scale enterprises stopped working, people moved, the real estate market stagnated, and the city was extremely deserted, so it was named "Dongguan Empty City". The main reason for this phenomenon is that at that time, the state began to intensify its crackdown and rectify the business related to pornography. As a city mainly engaged in processing, manufacturing and service industry, there have been some illegal acts related to pornography and gambling in Dongguan. In order to correct these problems, the authorities have taken a series of severe measures, including closing yellow-related places, cracking down on yellow-related crimes and cleaning up illegal people. As a result, some enterprises are affected, with serious loss of labor and talents, and the real estate market is in a downturn, thus forming the situation of "Dongguan empty city".
