In contrast with the situation over the last 18 years, people who have sex with underage prostitutes will finally be convicted as rapists in China.
This is according to the latest amendment to the country's criminal law.
The amendment has also removed the death penalty for nine crimes, altered conviction standards for the crime of corruption, and extended protection for women and children, among other changes.
The new law will come into effect in November this year.
So, how do legal experts assess the latest changes made to the law?
And what kind of impact will the new law have on Chinese society?
