Nearly three out of four Chinese netizens think they have something wrong with themselves.
In a recent poll of some 150,000 netizens, 70% of the respondents think they are suffering from some sort of mental problem:
1. bad memory
2. anxiety
3. depression
4. lack of confidence
A similar 72% say they also suffer from:
1. insomnia
2. dizziness
3. joint degeneration
4. aches and pains
On weekends -
1. just 9% play some sort of sport
2. over 40% stay home...surfing (surfings not a sport?)
3. 16% can't get eight hours of sleep.
China has about 162 million web users = 120 million (about the size of the entire population of Japan) is hurting...mentally.
Should we be concerned?
do you trust these results? not to submit to big brother paranoia, but arent these just the results that a communist government, which is having difficulty controlling its population online, would want released?
