In China, weight control has changed from a personal struggle to a government-supported effort. At a recent news conference, Lei Haichao, head of the National Health Commission, announced plans to set up more weight management clinics in medical facilities. This got much attention online. Social media platforms have strongly responded to the news.
China has a growing obesity problem. Over half of the adults are overweight or obese, and if not controlled, the rate could reach 70.5% by 2030, bringing a huge economic burden. To solve this, in 2024, the government launched a campaign to help with weight control in three years.
At weight management clinics, like the one at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, experts from different fields work together. They use methods like traditional Chinese medicine, including acupuncture(针灸), to help patients. However, there are risks, so proper oversight is needed.
While weight control clinics are new, sports and healthy eating have long been widely included in China's increasingly healthy society—thanks to strong government advocacy(倡导). So besides clinics, outdoor activities and healthy eating are also in need. The government has built many stadiums and fitness trails. More people are doing outdoor sports like hiking. Families are spending more time outdoors, and sports equipment sells well.
The government also issued eating guidelines for obese adults. People are more calorie-conscious, choosing healthy food like salads and low-sugar drinks. Entrepreneurs(企业家) are making traditional food healthier. In short, with the government's efforts, China is taking various steps to deal with the obesity problem.
