New China Doll Shut Down
In the middle of its opening night party, the new China Doll club by 3.3 has been shut down, apparently due to improper licenses, according to sources who attended the event. Witnesses said that they were not licensed to have come combination of music, drinks and dancing. Presumably it will be back up and running before the Olympics.
Entirely unsubstantiated rumors allege that the owner of the old China Doll used his influence to initiate the police inquiry, but these have been verified by no one. If anyone has information on this, rumor or fact, please feel free to post it. Please specify which one you are reporting.

TheNew China Doll Opening night was a great success. It was not shut down as some alleged. I was there with friends until 4AM and had a fantastic time.
The crowd is decidedly sexy and cool. The design of the club is sensational and the music is very hip and modern. Only the airconditioning system did not work so well, but when you cram that many more people into a space design for half of the space, it was hard not to feel a little over-heated…

I was told by the management that the issue was caused by KTV units in the VIP rooms. Apparently the authorities wanted to see their KTV license…. Pending clarification on this the club was only allowed to open as a lounge.
I am told the license thing is fully resolved and there is no issue with the “old owner of China Doll” or anyone else…
I dont know if I would call it a fantastic success - but it was pretty cool, this place is not going to be for everyone but the design is surreal and sexy and the colors and lights are seductively playful. I have to say the lounge is absolutely fabulous!
