Reading between the lines, it seems that the crackdown on only Dongguan is due to the local police involvement in the sex trade and corruption being exposed to the world. Chinese government officials' corruption is well known around the world and the government hates that fact because Chinese culture is all about having "face." Corruption being exposed to non-Chinese outsiders greatly embarrasses them. Just look at all the examples of Beijing consistently censoring anything that exposes corruption. Last month when media began reporting on Chinese officials and their families hiding their wealth in tax havens around the world (a harddrive of sorted data was sent to one of the media outlets which was much more organized than what Edward Snowden had sent to The Guardian newspaper), the Chinese firewall began banning access to any websites that carried the news (like The New York Times) as well as removing comments on social networks like Baidu.
The crackdown was to punish the local Dongguan police for embarrassing Beijing. Rationally and logically it doesn't make sense why there would be a crackdown on just one city. Beijing's actions allow it to save face in front of the rest of the world and they probably know that the Dongguan sex trade will just move to another city. When this happens, the local police are still punished but the sex workers can move and another city will prosper instead.
The entire thing is really silly. | |

matsumoto makes a good point. CP's proximity to HK is key also. |
