'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' 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. <ref>{{URLwikipedia|Religion_in_Chinda|Religion in China}}</ref> 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 who adhere to the teachings of [[Islam]]. The adherents to Islam constitute only 1.6 percent of the population.
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.<ref>{{REFjournal
