Experts warn of China health time bomb

"International health experts warned China it must tackle a growth in chronic diseases or face a health and economic time bomb. A report by U.S. and Chinese researchers urged Chinese to cut their intake of fatty foods and salt, and to stop smoking and start exercising. The report, in the British medical journal The Lancet, also called on the government to launch campaigns to promote healthier habits. The researchers said that as China has become increasingly affluent, diets have worsened, putting a growing number of Chinese at risk of heart and lung disease" - VOA
