China's ability to mix and match the worst of communism and capitalism in a single dystopian package never ceases to amaze me.
woman is only complete when she's beautiful
What a horrible sentiment.
I completely agree, the only thing a woman needs to be complete is a husband, four children, and a clean house.

Fucking hell that's sad
I can see the whole of .ml lining up for liposuction now. Except they need it.
I mean so do I.
Did I just read "stone" as a weight measuring unit? First time I see this and I can't believe it is not a meme.
Stone is a common British weight measuring unit, and this is a bbc article, so... That's why that happened.
1 stone = 6.35kg
Or approximately 412 pebbles.
Not sure if real unit, if so: you gotta be kidding me!
Pebbles aren't a real unit, but 1 stone is equal to 3584 drams.
Or 4,083 1/3rd penny weight.
So this time I looked it up and lo and behold: it's real. I don't know why you guys do this to yourselves
14lb = 1st.
1/60th of a minute = 2nd.
Is 15lbs 2nd?
62 is considered fat? That's torture!
Depends on their height. But a 14 year old having a 50% increase in weight in a short period of time would be something that you would check with a doctor on. If she is average height for a woman in China (about 160cm) then it puts her at the upper limit of normal BMI. But at 14, that puts her at risk of obesity as an adult.
Things are always a bit more gray if you don't have all the details.
While I give you that we don't know the details there's the chance this is not the case yes but, coincidentally my daughter is 13 and she is like 150% heavier because she is just growing she's 1,65 (while I'm 1,69 for reference)she just grew from looking like a child (1,20) to a young woman how the fuck that's not normal?. And please don't use BMI is proven Bullshit.
I suppose that if surgery is in the picture, it alters a lot of what's realistically-achievable in many ways.
That being said, China also has something of a more-males gender imbalance due to a significant degree of infanticide of females, so you'd think that the pickings would be pretty good for surviving women in China compared to in most countries. I'd expect that you'd see the guys being more likely to go to extreme ends than the girls.
She wasn't an adult yet so maybe she was still quite short? Even so I agree it shouldn't have cost her acting roles.
42 to 62 is a 47% weight increase. That's obese, and that's unhealthy for anybody except the severely underweight.
Ew

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
