so every man in brazil when he gets 18 has to present himself for the army and will have to go through the enlistment process, in which we are treated like shit for a day, have to do a body examination in which you have to be naked in a room,a physical test and just have real shitty time for a whole day. If the army wants, they can force you into one to two years of service, and if you do not comply you are unable to use any sort of public service including the public universities, the brazilian public healthcare system, voting and other great things, brazil is not a communist country, so this is dumb (also nowadays, it is not so bad, like, it is mostly one really bad day on your 18th year, so you can hold that feeling and resent the brazilian army for your whole life, as there is not enough jobs in the army to get like 5% of the people that have 18 years old and there are people that want to enlist, it is a job that pays ok, gives you food and a roof if you need to so, i would imagine china probably does not force every single person that is 18 to join the army on pure number like there is no way there is enough capacity for this kind of recruitment with china population anyway, i am technically part of the brazillian army reserves and that makes me and in a sense all brazilian men have a personal interest in brazil never going to war)
