Young Chinese rejected from army for being overweight but that’s not the only reason

China has a serious problem on their hands.

They need to get out of their bedroom…

Whatever happened to the good old days of going outside and going on adventures or playing with your friends instead of spending it trapped in your bedroom all day long?

According to these latest military findings, China has a serious problem on its hands and if it wants to maintain a people-strong army, something needs to change quickly.

Numerous young Chinese people are failing fitness tests that are required to join the army because they are overweight and masturbate too much.

The report by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army has stated that the high rejection rate triggered concerns that there are not enough youths in good enough physical health to fill the ranks of the Chinese army.

A poor diet and frequent masturbation (which leads to abnormally large testicular veins) are believed to be the cause of the falling fitness levels according to the state-run military report.

As well as this, they believe that overuse of smartphones and drinking water with too high of a mineral content is also to blame.

In one city, in particular, over half of the potential recruits were rejected after failing fitness tests and of those, 20% were too fat.

Just under 50% failed the standard vision test and again, smartphones and excessive use of electronic devices were blamed.
