SHANGHAI, China -- Chinese officials are ordering a Shanghai tea house to change its name.

The name translates roughly as "Frog Keeps a Mistress." Officials said the moniker is a threat to public morality. But the manager tells local media the name isn't meant to be risque.

The whole subject of mistresses is a touchy one in China, where many Communist Party officials have been criticized for keeping women on the side.
