International news about my country (draft 2)

I came across this article from the Washington Post. It had mentioned the provinces in south of China to ban keeping of mistresses. I chose this headline because I found it is not only in China, but also in other countries, the trend of keeping of mistresses is rising every year. Some provinces of Guangdong had been passing a law to ban this trend. Beijing News mentioned the law is about legislation guaranteeing women’s rights, especially extra-marital affairs should be banned. A lawmaker of Guangdong, who is named Cheng Jingchu also, indicated marital stability should be enhancing. Although, China reminds officials to honour the sanctity of marriage, some of the senior cadres’ cases still involved mistresses.
