Introduction

Uncover the disturbing side of China’s ‘pet economy’ where live pets are transported like goods and pet torture videos can be customised to meet the perversions of online clients. And see how beauty loans, beauty apps and beauty bloggers are feeding an increasing addiction to invasive cosmetic surgeries in the Middle Kingdom. In the UK, meet the East Asian communities who continue to be targets for abuse, two years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Philippines, the prolonged COVID-19 lockdowns restrict access to contraceptives for women, leading to dire consequences in a country where abortions are illegal. And go behind the closed doors of Singapore’s adult-only KTV lounges, after an outbreak of over 250 COVID-19 infections, leave clients and hostesses alike in limbo.
