Yan Xiaokang, vice-mayor and the police chief of Dongguan, was sacked "for failing to assume his duty in cleaning up the city's sex industry", according to a decision by the standing committee of the provincial Party committee of Guangdong.
The report said Yan's failures caused prostitution to flourish in Dongguan, creating a bad image for the city, the report said.
Yan was appointed vice-mayor of Dongguan in August 2008 and has been the city's police chief since January 2012.
The Ministry of Public Security and Guangdong police recently launched an anti-prostitution crackdown in Dongguan, a city known for its thriving sex industry. As of Feb 10, city police have investigated 1,948 entertainment venues and have placed 162 people under investigation, the police said.
