An Aston Martin Vanquish is seen on display during the China Rendez-Vous - The Fifth Edition of Superyachts-Business Jets-Luxury Lifestyle Exhibition in Sanya city, south Chinas Hainan province, 27 March 2014. At Chinas annual yacht show over the past weekend, Beijings anti-corruption drive seemed to be giving vendors a sinking feeling. The number of exhibitors this year at China Rendez-Vous in Hainan dropped to 72, down from 90 exhibitors in 2013, when exhibitors included a wider range of top luxury brands including Aston Martin, Chopard and IWC Schaffhausen. China Rendez-Vous, now in its fifth year, suffered a reputational hit in China after pictures of sex and drug parties flooded the Internet in 2013. Since Chinas anti-corruption push was launched, taking out a government official out for a day on a private yacht has become less socially accepted, reducing the value of such vessels in China.
