"Lotus Feet" in China
According to ancient Chinese tradition, a bride must have a tiny foot. Girls with standard-sized feet are often ridiculed and not taken as brides.

#Thread

#Women #China #Beauty

1. For this reason from the age of 4-5 girls' feet are tightly bandaged so that the feet simply do not grow, and for the next 10 years the future wives endure unbearable pain in the name of beauty.

2. The procedure deforms the foot, and by the age of 18 it does not grow longer than 10 centimeters. The Chinese provinces have an entire shoe industry for the occasion.

3. The tradition is almost extinct (fortunately), but in remote conservative settlements, the ritual is still performed.

China is building the most powerful warship radar

Chinese scientists say that construction has begun for a radar system that could shift the balance of naval power in the world’s oceans with its ability to detect incoming missiles from thousands of kilometers away.
#Thread

2. A Beijing-based radar scientist who was not involved in the project said that until recently the idea of putting such a radar on a battleship was “more or less science fiction”.

1. Asuras are a class of beings fathered by Kashyapa Rishi and mothered by Diti and Danu. Asuras born of Diti are called Daitya (meaning sons of Diti) and those born of Danu are called Danava (meaning sons of Danu).
