Blame it on the greasy Chinese food, which I so love myself!, and lack of weight management education, the Chinese population is one of the worst in the world when it comes the rate of obese people, especially kids. Government health survey showed the alarming increase of obesity in the Chinese community due to the abovementioned reasons.
In view of this, starting on September, dance classes will be required to be performed by primary to secondary students during breaks or extracurricular time.
This weight management practice will complement the plan of Xinhua New Agency to use physical fitness results to affect the qualifications of a student to enter the top universities of China.
