While the whole world is growing taller, the Chinese are growing shorter!According to a study in the PRC, the new generation of Chinese are growing shorter and shorter and are now even shorter than the Japanese, who used to be the shortest among Asians. Now, the tallest Asians are the Koreans, followed by the Japanese, then the Chinese.
According to the study, Chinese who are over 40 years old are still taller than the Japanese in average. However, Chinese who are under 40 years old are now shorter than the Japanese.
Look at the PLA and the PAP, except for a small number of elite, special units, the majority are skinny and short. I have never seen a muscular Chinese soldier. Why don't they promote body building in China to improve the Chinese physique?
Seems like the Chinese still have not got rid of the "Sick Man Of Asia" image.
Don't give me the number of gold medals Chinese athletes win in the Olympics. This is done by a small number of elite athletes specially trained since childhood. It has nothing to do with the Chinese in general. Today's Chinese are either too fat with a big belly or too skinny, but seldom strong.
