20 facts about China that cause shock.

Millions of Chinese live in caves

In the province, 30 million Chinese live in caves. Many cave houses are inherited for generations, and others are rented for $ 30 per month. When they are put up for sale, the price can reach $ 45,000. All cave houses are not similar to each other - some are better, others are worse. Not all houses are equipped with electricity and running water. Thanks to their natural energy, they are cool in summer and warm in winter. Even China's leader Xi Jinping once lived in a cave house.

Thousands of executions

In China, criminals are often executed, and there are mobile vans for executing executions in prisons. The exact number of people sentenced to death is unknown, as it is classified statistics, but it is estimated that their number in 2015 amounted to several thousand - this is several times greater than in all countries of the world together. Most likely, this is explained by the number of people living in the whole country. To death, drug traffickers, corrupt officials and those accused of adultery are sentenced. Basically, the sentence is carried out by lethal injection.

Smog

In many metropolitan areas of China without a mask, walking around the streets is uncomfortable. Many Chinese without masks do not go out. Many wear a mask as a preventative against infectious diseases, but mainly because breathing polluted air is very harmful. The damage from cigarettes smoked per day is equivalent to harm from walking along the streets of Beijing without a mask. Smog, like the Great Wall of China, can be seen from outer space. In China, not only problems with air, but also water - 90% of all drinking water in China is polluted!

The longest traffic jams

In China, there is a huge number of people, which means that a lot of cars leave for Chinese roads. In August 2010, in Beijing, on the highway to Tibet, the world's largest traffic jam was formed. Its length was 100 km and it lasted for 10 days. In China, you can quickly get on a motorcycle, for which a separate lane is allocated. There is even a separate part of the sidewalk for smartphone users, so they do not create traffic jams among pedestrians.

In China there is a goose police

In a year, China spends $ 200 billion on the army, while in the US - 600 billion. When training the military, use the old methods, including the old form. Until now, the military is sewing white collars to a tunic. In addition, there are special pins in the neck of the tunic that pinch the neck and prevent the soldier from falling asleep at the post. In addition to dogs, geese are serving in the army, which patrol the territory. In the Chinese army there are also pigeon troops, in which there are more than 10,000 postal pigeons. All this will come to the rescue if high technologies fail.

Reincarnation is out of the law

China occupied Tibet in 1950 and continues to eradicate Tibetan culture. Communist leaders have banned the belief in the reincarnation of Tibetan monks and talk about this phenomenon. After shooting a film in Tibet for 7 years in Tibet, Bred Pitt was banned from entering China for 15 years. In addition to the prohibition of reincarnation in China, a law has appeared that forces visitors to visit family members who have turned more than 60 years old.

Bride's bridesmaids for rent

In online stores, you can rent a cheap Chinese wedding dress. The original dress can be purchased here for $ 150. To him in the complete set it is possible to pick up and girlfriends of the bride for 30 dollars a week.

There are more Christians in China than in Europe

There are more Christians in the country than in Europe and the United States. 10% of Chinese refer to the state religion, and 6% consider themselves atheists. Other Chinese people practice such religions as Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Islam.

Degree in the bra sciences

No one will think that you can get a candidate's degree in bra disciplines. At the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, one can obtain a scientific degree in matters related to the export of textiles, since China is the world's largest exporter. In China, there are whole cities that specialize in the production of socks or bras.

Birth control

From 1980 to 2015, there was a law that allowed the family to have one child. Given the aging of the nation and in connection with economic prospects, it was later allowed to give birth to two children. Many Chinese families try to give birth to boys more often than girls. A year in China, more than 9 million abortions are carried out, over the past 35 years, there have been 400 million abortions. Until now, the Chinese must receive an official birth certificate.

Time zones

The territory of China is similar to the territory of the United States. The difference is that China is in 5 time zones, but officially accepted one. It is very convenient for travelers. Inconvenient to the inhabitants themselves, as the sun rises and sets in different zones in different ways, and the time on the clock is the same. There are such provinces where the sun has not yet risen, and on the clock is already 10 am.

Boil the eggs in the urine

Annually 20 million trees are destroyed in the country to make 45 billion chopsticks, which the Chinese eat. First of all, it should be noted that normal food in China is also eaten. More than half of the world pig population goes to cooking here. You can try not only pork, but eggs, boiled in the urine of innocent boys and men. This is considered a delicacy. The Chinese also eat large cockroaches, mice, duck embryos.

Decorative dog color

Dogs in China are not only eaten. Hundreds of dogs in China are painted under a tiger, a zebra, a panda and a rainbow. In some, the wool is colored with abstract patterns, others have large eyebrows and mustaches on their muzzles. In 2013, the mastiff decorated with a lion was shown at the zoo and deceived visitors for several days. Cats avoided this fate.

Humiliating treatment of women

In connection with the restriction of the birth rate and the Chinese passion for the birth of boys (as continuers of the gender), the attitude towards girls and women in China leaves much to be desired. For 100 women in China there are 143 men. Women have become the object of control and ownership, and their professional identity is contested and ridiculed in the male society. Despite globalization and world feminism, in China the attitude to women has not improved. Before marriage, the girl must maintain her virginity, even if she is already far beyond 25. If the virginity is lost, then it is necessary to make an operation, the cost of which is more than $ 700.

Building Growth

If a huge number of people live in the country, then a lot of housing is needed, but in China they overdid it. For three years, in the period from 2011 to 2013, the country built more houses than in the US for the entire 20 century. Every five years there are new skyscrapers - and so already for 70 years. There are 15 megacities in China. In each live more than 10 million people. In China, 64 million homes are empty, including whole cities.

Threatening growth of neonatal pathologies

In China every 30 seconds one child with defects is born. Annually, the number of newborns with pathologies totals 900 000 children, which is 20% of the population. This is very sad, but not surprising in connection with the catastrophic pollution of air and water by chemicals. In addition, you need to pay attention to the diet.

Gamers undergo compulsory rehabilitation

Communist China banned the population from using Facebook and Twitter. Due to the fact that the country's population becomes dependent on cyberspace, game consoles are banned in China. Throughout the country, camps have been built, where gamers undergo physical rehabilitation. Project participants undergo an intensive physical training course, wear uniforms and sleep behind bars. Despite the ban and blocking of many sites, 95 million Chinese people still use social networks.

China - King of fakes

In China, almost everything that is produced in different countries of the world is produced. The Chinese government is struggling with fakes, but their number is not decreasing. In 2011, 13,000 factories were closed and 3,000 people were arrested. 67% of all world counterfeits are made here, and this will never stop, as this business brings annually 250 billion dollars.

Buying a Place in a Prison

Annually in China from exhausting work 600 000 people die. The suicide rate is also high. If a rich man does not want to sit in prison, he can pay, and someone will sit for him. It all starts from the moment of the court session, when another person appears instead of the real criminal, and the authorities turn a blind eye to it. If the rich man is in prison, then there is another way. If the prisoner creates a highly technological invention, the term can be reduced. This is also a corruption scheme, as the invention could be done at will, and the relatives of the prisoner can acquire and extradite for his invention.

The annual festival of canine meat

In summer, on the day of the solstice, in China there is a festival of canine meat, where they sell and eat dishes from 10-15 thousand dogs. In addition, 4 million cats eat here every year.
