    Lucky for us, they let you in no matter how much you jack off here in the states.

    As a person presumably outside the target audience for this article, all it evokes in me are warm feelings of brotherhood towards our Chinese counterparts

    I wonder if the alleged report that they're citing even exists. The embedded link just goes to that site's home page.

      I found a lot of other articles from other outlets which actually have a link to something specific, however it returns a 404 so I'm guessing it has been taken down by now (it's from 2017) and BBC has some links about Weibo discussing it, so yeah it's real.

      It's very funny though how part of the fitness test was someone looking at their balls to see if their veins are too big lol

      China is full of skinny-fat prudish masturbates who constantly trick people into lying on their behalf about obvious stupid bullshit that only Americans are savvy enough to see through. They're planning to conquer the world with their cheap, inferior technology and hordes of lazy shiftless workers. We must once again become the sword and shield of Western Civilization by, I don't know, sanctioning solar panel imports or something. Just, whatever we do, lets make sure it doesn't disrupt our profitable international trade relationships.

    doesn't this go against the narrative that the great firewall keeps people from watching porn?

      The great amount of pornography that has been translated into Chinese on any international porn site would tell anyone that if the great firewall was supposed to do that then it obviously works as well as a mesh filter does as a bucket to hold water.

      People famously can't masturbate without porn.

      (Also it probably doesn't work very well lol)

        If you told redditors America was about to ban porn they would tear the country apart. They are insanely addicted to it

      Finding porn in the Chinese internet (without crossing the firewall) is relatively easy. You just can't watch the porn online, you have to download it.

      Don't expect coherency from "cHiNa BaD!" articles, but also the GFW is easy as hell to bypass with a VPN.

    In what world does masturbation negatively effect physical health?

    USA: 36.2% obese

    UK: 27.8% obese

    China: 6.2% obese

    Yeah, this is a real problem for China and nobody else.

    Sorry lad, the PLA can only use those who haven't wasted their vital essences. You need every sperm to defend the motherland.
