A Chinese circumcision contest among surgeons has been reported by the South China Morning Post.[1]

The reasons for these circumcisions are unclear. The American Academy of Pediatrics has long stated that "there are no medical indications for circumcision in the neonatal period."[2] Religions that require circumcision are little practiced in China.

The article alluded to a possible improvement in sexual function,[1] however there is little, if any evidence to support that view.[3]

The SCMP reports a prevalence of circumcision of 14 percent in China, which is far in excess of all medical requirements.
