China - one of the countries that have probably never stop to amaze the world around. Much of the lifestyle, traditions and customs of this nation is puzzling and misunderstanding, but there are some things that are truly shocking! We gathered 20 of the most unusual and not amenable to logical explanation of the facts about this country and its people, who are striking to the heart.

Millions of Chinese live in caves

In the province of 30 million Chinese live in caves. Many cave homes are inherited for many generations, while others are rented for $ 30 per month. When they are put up for sale, the price can reach 45 thousand dollars.All the cave houses are not alike - some better than others. Not all houses are equipped with electricity and running water. Due to the natural energy in them cool in summer and warm in winter. Even the leader of China Xi Jinping once lived in the cave house.

thousands of executions

In China, often executed criminals, there are also mobile vans to carry out executions in prisons. The exact number of those sentenced to death is unknown, as is the coded statistics, but it is estimated that their number in 2015 amounted to a few thousand - it is several times more than in all countries of the world together. Most likely, this is due to the number of people living in the entire country. By the death sentence traffickers, corrupt officials and those accused of adultery.Basically, the sentence is to be executed by lethal injection.

Smog

In many big cities in China without a mask uncomfortable to walk the streets. Many Chinese people without masks do not face the street. Many wear the mask as a preventive agent against infectious diseases, but mainly because breathing polluted air is very harmful. Damage from smoked a pack of cigarettes a day is equivalent to the damage from walking on the streets of Beijing without a mask. Smog, like the Great Wall can be seen from space. In China, with problems not only air, but also water - 90% of the drinking water is contaminated in China!

The longest traffic jams

In China lives a huge number of people, and therefore on Chinese roads leaves a huge number of cars. In August 2010, in Beijing on the road in the direction of Tibet was formed the world's largest traffic jam. Its length is 100 km and it lasted for 10 days. In China, you can quickly get on a motorcycle, for which allocated a separate lane. There is even a separate part of the sidewalk for smartphone users so that they do not create traffic jams among pedestrians.

In China, there is a goose police

In the year that China spends on the military $ 200 billion, while in the US - $ 600 billion. When training the military using old methods, including the old form. Until now, the military is sutured to the white-collar shirt. In addition, the neck of his tunic are special pin that pricked his neck and did not give the soldier sleep on duty. In addition to the dogs in the army are the geese that perform patrol the territory. The Chinese army is also a pigeon troops, which number more than 10 000 pigeons. All this will come to the aid, if high technology will fail.

Reincarnation is the law

China invaded Tibet in 1950 and continues to eradicate Tibetan culture. Communist leaders have banned believe in reincarnation of Tibetan monks and talk about this phenomenon. After filming in Tibet film "7 years in Tibet" Brad Pitt banned from entering China for 15 years. In addition to the prohibition of reincarnation in China there was a law, coercive visit their family members who have attained 60 years of age.

Time zone

The territory of China is similar to the United States. The difference is that China is a 5 time zones, but the officially accepted one. It is very convenient for travelers. Uncomfortable by residents, as the sun rises and sets in different areas in different ways and at the same time watch. There are provinces where the sun has not yet managed to get up, but the clock is already 10 am.

Boil eggs in the urine

Annually in the country destroyed 20 million trees in the production of 45 billion sticks, which the Chinese eat.First of all, it should be noted that the normal food in China is also eaten. More than half the world's pigs are in the cooking here. You can try not only pork, and eggs boiled in the urine of innocent boys and men. It is considered a delicacy. The Chinese also eat large cockroaches, mice, duck embryos.

The humiliating treatment of women

In the country built more residential buildings than in the US for the entire 20th century. Every five years there are new skyscrapers - and so for the past 70 years. In China, 15 cities. Each live more than 10 millions. In China, 64 million empty homes, including whole cities.

Buying a place in prison

Every year 600,000 people die in China from toil. The suicide rate is also high. If some rich man does not want to go to jail, he can pay, and someone had served him.All begins from the date of the court hearing, when, instead of the real culprit appears the other person, and the authorities turn a blind eye. If the rich man went to jail, then there is another way. If a prisoner will create highly technological invention, the term may be reduced.This is also a corruption scheme, since the invention could do in the wild, and the relatives of the prisoner buy and give out his invention.
