In 1995, when your correspondent arrived in China, the Western press was publishing stories about about the "sexual revolution" in China symbolized by the opening of sex shops that sold vibrators and aphrodisiacs. Since then, the foreign press has never tired of noting that Chinese people do, golly gosh, enjoy sex. Japan's Mainichi Daily News has just published another such story. Although the article contains nothing new and is not worth reading, the headline is inspired: The 'Sleeping Dragon' next door wakes up with a woody. |

They must enjoy "IT"...they have the largest population...DUH!!!!!!!!!!!
Large population means they do it often, with great productivity, like burger flippers in Macdonalds making burgers. That is no indication of "enjoy"ment.
