So it’s not surprising that most people don’t know a lot of facts about one of our biggest rivals, China.
Geopolitical experts have called China the “sleeping dragon” because of its rapidly growing economy and influence on the world. But what don’t we know about them? Here some crazy interesting facts about the People’s Republic of China that you probably didn’t know.
1.) To train soldiers to keep their chins up and maintaing their position, a pin is precariously placed in the collars of their uniforms.
5.) Instead of driving through, Chinese customers would pick up their food in the drive through, park, and bring the food inside the restaurant to eat. Bizarre!
11.) Every year in China, nearly a million girl fetuses are aborted and tens of thousands of girl babies are also abandoned because of the country’s one-child policy.
13.) China’s air pollution is so bad that it travels across the Pacific ocean all the way to San Francisco, contributing to almost a third of the city’s pollution.
