who are too big for their equipment sounds like an American problem.
But as China catches up to, or beats, the U.S. in certain stats, they
also face problems faced here.
According to The Washington Post,
a recent study of the People's Liberation Army revealed many soldiers
are "too big and too fat" for some pieces of equipment in use. This
includes people driving tanks who can no longer fit in them. The report
revealed that people serving in military forces have an average
waistline that's 5 centimeters larger than 20 years ago.
