The Public Security Bureau removed the ad and issued a statement saying that the site was not a suitable platform for such advertisements.

Zhang Xiaotian, Secretary of the Public Security Bureau, said: “This site is still under construction, and so is vulnerable to security breaches.” He added that the site was now running according to high security standards.

The site has experienced a number of problems since it launched, including slow load times and malfunctioning interactive platforms as well as a vulnerability to security breaches.
