China is a very large advanced nation in East Asia. The population is about 1.4 billion which makes it second only to India in population. In land area, it is the third largest nation on Earth.

The three main religions are Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.[1] None of these religions have a tradition or a requirement for circumcision of boys, so China does not have a tradition of circumcision except for a small minority of Muslims who live in the northwest corner of China (Xinjiang) who adhere to the teachings of Islam. The adherents to Islam constitute only 0.45% to 1.8% of the population.[1]

There is no tradition of circumcision in China. Early infant male circumcision (EIMC) is very rare. Pan et al. (2012) reported that circumcisions are done later when needed to treat tight foreskin, so the prevalence of circumcision is only 2.66 percent.[2]

Use of HIV to promote circumcision in China

Circumcision has been falsely claimed to prevent infection with HIV by three African randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Boyle & Hill (2011) studied their reports and found disabling methodological and statistical errors that invalidated their purported findings.[3] Regardless of these findings, Chinese medical doctors seem to be pushing for adoption of circumcision to prevent HIV infection. Numerous papers in the Chinese medical literature advocate circumcision to prevent HIV infection among both heterosexuals and homosexuals.

Shang Ring

The Shang Ring circumcision device is manufactured in China.
