No wonder their leaders are short-sighted.

What's wrong with China ?

In US as well.

It’s happening here in the US as well. Too much screen time.

alllibertynews Some genetic defect?

And I estimate they would grow up to be short-sighted as well, cos all the absurd education (brainwash) they received.

This is confusing

alllibertynews short-sighted or near-sighted?

Over 100 % of their politicians are short-sighted WUhanCoronavirus

They live in a developing country so they need to work harder and be smarter to get lesser jobs than kids in a rich country. They become short sighted from studying. This stat is a reason to show sympathy. Privileged idiots will talk shit about China because of this nonetheless.

Kids are short-sighted because they can only see what’s in front of them, not what’s far ahead like older adults, most of whom are far-sighted.

it is due to dim light light must be bright during the day

Is the American form of short-sighted, near-sighted?

Remind me. Does that mean they can't see close, or they can't see far?

That explains the acceptance of communist rule. Kids are very poor at thinking in the long term

even short-eyed too 😀😀

When you don’t play outside/spend time outside and study indoors all day, then yeah. Plus kids today basically stare at screens nearly 24/7

just to prepare for them to become short-sighted bureaucrats when they grow up and to prevent them from seeing the atrocity of the CCP since childhood.

That's why they mistakenly released the Wuhan virus in the lab. Some shortsighted guy pressed the open button.

Lived there 7 years, yes this is true, sadly. Chinese have poor eyes, all the youngsters I taught almost all wear glasses or contacts. But, in Chinese life its all about study, study, study so my view too much eye strain.

Is that what they call nearsighted now?

lol losers

That’s nothing...95% of the US Congress is short-sighted.

Clever American plan to defeat China.

Yes but the country is not. Far from it! 😉

Too much masturbation? 😀

They look to much !

Literally and figuratively.

Make sure Chinese soldiers glasses don't fog up by giving them time out

Yes, these preadolescents have been led to believe that the trade tariff war between China & the US is bringing immediate gains for the Chinese - Over 70% of 12-14 year olds in China are short-sighted

alllibertynews Is this heightism?

No its just they think were so ugly ,they squint , make em shortsighted .Most asinine article ever , But a optometrist dream.

Any particular reason?

Not much different from 12-14 year olds in America.

Same in India ! Do a survey !

near sighted?

This explains their driving skills here in America. They are not very good at driving. Fact

The traditional education system is the culprit behind the phenomenon.

I dunno for Chinese children and teenagers but their LEADERS ARE RATHER SHORT SIGHTED

FACT. Sad but true. Also, properly used equivoque here, imagine my shock.

FACT. Sad but true. Also, properly used equivoque here, imagine the irony.

Same, but UK politicians.

because teenagers in China spend too much time studying

They need more time outside in bright light (scientific fact) & less time in class (and for the vast majority it is not genetic as their parents ratio of short sightedness was about the opposite) Luckily they can change their eyes back It really works!

That’s why they introduced the Five Year Plan

Look 👀 Is this a sales lead Tweet? BauschLomb 😝 theeconomist

It is truth, my 14 years old daughter has been short-sighted econ for 2 years.

Chinese chicanery and short-sightedness are causing problems for everyone. What will happen when these kids grow up?

And in the USA, 100% of the politicians are as well.

There is a genetic component for a higher myopia rate. Besides, Chinese characters require really good sight increasing the detection of myopia vs western countries.

The great thing about this is that it has been identified. Hope the Chinese government does something to improve the quality of eye-sight of these little learners

Short-sightedness is from genetic factors....

I propose that children should not read books for long periods of time without putting on reading glasses. And they should take breaks. The medical experts have failed our children.

THIS is why I MADE my twins GO OUTSIDE for the same amount of screentime they used. And I checked up on them...

What did you expect when your eyes are not well open

This is insane

Pretty sure the term is 'near-sighted'

LESS homework& LESS smartphone&Make sure your child spends two hours outdoors each day!
