Americans are stereotypical for getting enough to eat, and working out was less of a luxury than a way of life for a people that consumed steak and cheeseburgers in the local family buffet. Now, being muscular is expensive—you still get easier access to protein in the US compared to Europe, but young Chinese men these days, they’re all tall, they work out (well, many of them).
Physical health is the most important thing in society, one should not live in a country that doesn’t promote their individual health, growth, strength and power. It seems at least the CCP has prioritized this, at least as far as the notoriously unbiased South China Morning Post reports.
- JimTheMan 2y agoI don't know if that gels with my personal experience visiting China about 5 years ago. I didn't find the Chinese public to be particularly athletic as a general rule and they didn't seem particularly sport oriented. Walking up a mountain, the public seemed generally unfit in comparison to Australia?

That seems like a questionable assertion. Poverty aside, I don't see how/why North Korea couldn't prioritize health, which wouldn't solve the largest problems in that society from my perspective, no matter how healthy they got.
