If you're a homesick Chinese soldier, you'd better hang on to your spare change. You'll need it for the pay phone, because you're in trouble if you're caught using a mobile phone. China has barred its military personnel from using mobiles in an effort to keep sensitive information secret. In rare instances a cell phone can be used, but it requires the permission of at least a divisional commander and the call has to be strictly business. If that wasn't bad enough, the order included a codicil forbidding visits to one of the soldier's traditional forms of recreation: the brothel.
