From the announcement:
China’s economy has boomed, but a potentially disastrous side effect – along with pollution and a growing income gap between urban and rural regions – is the effects obesity will have on the country’s fragile healthcare system. China’s urban centres have seen alarmingly rising rates of obesity. Throughout the country, an estimated 200 million people out of a total population of around 1.3 billion were overweight – over 15%.
