Holy Guacamole
That explains why a "super power" China had to back off when facing "sub-Saharan" Indians in Bhutan.

A rising number of young Chinese people are failing fitness tests required to join the army because they are too fat and masturbate too much, state media has proclaimed.
The high rejection rate has triggered concerns that there are not enough youths in good physical condition to fill the ranks of the Chinese army.
A poor diet and frequent masturbation, leading to abnormally large testicular veins, are believed to be behind falling fitness levels, according to a report published in state-run military newspaper the People’s Liberation Army Daily.
Authorities also think the constant use of smartphones and drinking water with too high a mineral content are to blame.
In one city, 56.9 per cent of potential recruits were rejected after failing fitness tests. One in five was simply deemed too fat.

Young Chinese are 'too fat and masturbate too much' to join army
Yes, well, the Chinese think it's BBQs and dusty roads that is causing all the pollution, but when Xi Jinping turns up, they shut down all the polluting industry and the pollution levels go down to something normal.
It's the Chinese way.
I have to admit, there was a point in my life when I started to doubt the democratic path India chose. But, more and more I learn about China, I am glad India did not go the same route as China.
Transparency of India can be a cause of embarrassment to Indians at times but it also forces Indians to face the reality and work on it instead of hiding behind censorship and image control regimes.
Well... there are positives and negatives for democracy for sure. The Indians aren't exactly going anywhere. There problem with China is that it's turning into the US, an aggressive powerful country, which everyone else gets annoyed with.
"India is not going anywhere" is the fairy tale that CPC sells to Chinese people to justify the oppressive nature of its governance. There is a deliberate attempt by CPC to downplay India's progress. And, then this so called lack of progress is blamed on India's political system aka democracy.
I recall coverage by Chinese media of India's A5 missiles where its potency was down played by citing its lack of accuracy. This claim was childish because all you have to do is compare capabilities of China vs India in this regard. India has sent two lunar missions. And, India is the only Asian country to have successfully sent a mission to Mars. These missions require tremendous degree of sophistication and accuracy. China is nowhere near sending a mission to Moon; forget about Mars.
Yes, China has made tremendous progress in uplifting large number of its people from poverty. It is remarkable. But, in the process it has polluted the country and compromised the health of its citizens to the point that the lack of fitness among Chinese youth is being blamed on masturbation. I would caution India against Chinese style economic growth as it is turning livable if not glamorous Indian cities like Bengaluru into living hell.
I have been noticing an interesting trend among Chinese netizens who post on social media sites. They think of themselves as racially white. They refer to Indians as sub-Saharans. In their mind, a white person is superior to a sub-Saharan person by default; therefore, Chinese are superior to Indians. First I ignored this but this is a quite a pattern among Chinese netizens.
Now, it makes sense to me why CPC engages in deliberate propaganda against Indians. Some of these propaganda materials are downright racist.
Well it's not hard to downplay India's progress, is it?
Do you see? Actually India's GDP percentage rise is actually HIGHER than China's. However this is because India is starting from a much lower point. India is on about 7.4% GDP growth, China about 6.3. However China is doing much better.
To be honest, if China had democracy, it'd be poor. The people would be electing fools who'd be playing politics and enriching themselves. The CCP already does this, but also manages to put in infrastructure for the whole country, instead of focusing on areas where they'd gain political profit.
Yes, China is polluting it's country, but India's pollution is worse.
Beijing Air Pollution: Real-time PM2.5 Air Quality Index (AQI)
Haldia, India has a PM2.5 at 270, New Dehli has 198, Nehru Nagar has 159. One place in China has 323, Beijing is at 169 right now.
So, India is polluted, China is polluted, India is poorer than China and has had Democracy since 1948 or something, and China has been developing since Mao died in 1975. So why is India behind? Why are Indian railways so poor?
Chinese railways v. Indian railways. Okay, China does have older stock out there too, but still everything is better than that Indian train there which is the norm.
Indian high speed rail network. Notice that anything blue, green or red is a PROPOSED high speed network and doesn't actually exist. So a network map of India's high speed network would be EMPTY.
China's, serving quite a large part of the population. Personally I've been from Xiamen in the south up to Beijing in the north, and other parts in the west.
