As far as i know, consumption, distribution, and production of it is prohibited. Is the prohibition based on a new proletarian morality/ethic or is there a materialist basis for the complete ban?

It is also illegal in Turkey. Our govt's reasoning is masturbation and premarital sex are sinful and it lowers the birthrates.

PRC's reasons must be more coherent though, like the industry is inherently exploitative and lots of illegal stuff going on there.
