While the Chinese army is involved in a standoff with Indian army, they seem to have some major issues when it comes to getting new recruits for their ranks. It seems that a lot of kids in the country may not be able to make the cut and the government has just revealed the reason behind this.

According to the People’s Liberation Army daily, 56 percent of aspirants who applied in a city were rejected due to their poor diet and lifestyle choices. State media said that young Chinese people are fat and are masturbating too much to be considered fit for being a part of the armed forces.

A report said that the health issues are related to long hours spent sitting on the computer, excessive masturbation and little physical activity. It said that masturbation leads to larger than normal veins in testicles which have an adverse impact on fitness.

The state media also added that a good number of applicants failed tests when it came to eyesight and blamed electronic gadgets including phones which youngsters are wearing out their eyes with.

Meanwhile as it also pointed out excessive consumption of fizzy drinks, the report reassured people by mentioning that US army has a rejection rate of 80 percent.
