Chinese firm apologises for letting Japanese porn star Sora Aoi wear Young Pioneers’ red scarf at charity event

A love potion company in China has apologised for letting Japanese former porn star Sora Aoi don the red scarf, a symbol of the Communist Party's Young Pioneers, at a “charity event”, according to media reports.

The apology came after the communist youth group issued a statement on Thursday, condemning the firm for using the red scarf as a publicity stunt and accusing it of breaking the law.
