It's not just Japanese Maid Cafes that are a little crazy that way. Now I'm guessing Hooters doesn't do much business in China either.
Short answer: usually
Long answer: they cater to customers with a maid fetish. It is possible that some staff do not mind, or even enjoy, working there. It is possible that a maid cafe might put clear boundaries, and protect its staff. But in the real world, most of the time, yes it is quite degrading.
Not that they're the same, but this feels like not letting people be strippers because some people may feel degraded by it. I could understand having legislation that provides protections for employees through employer obligations to ensure a safe environment, but ultimately it's the choice of the individual if they're okay with the work or not. I don't have a dog in this fight, but this feels like Chinese conservatism forcing "modesty" on women.
You mean Chinese conservatism? My take was as means of combating foreign cultural influence.
Whoops, idk why I misread it as Japanese. Will fix thanks.
