==Promotion of male circumcision in China==
Anecdotal evidence reports there are many posters seen in China which promote the practice of circumcision.It is thought that "[o]nly high-stakes financial and/or scientific advantage could explain the Chinese enthusiasm."<ref>Dr Chris Coughran. (28 February 2025) Personal communication.</ref>
===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). [[Gregory J. Boyle|Boyle]] & [[George Hill|Hill]] (2011) studied their reports and found disabling methodological and statistical errors that invalidated their purported findings.<ref name="boyle-hill2011">{{BoyleGJ HillG 2011}}</ref> 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.
