All those who posted about their health and lack of muscle mass are completely on the money! When you see a healthy, 5'3" American teenager do a tumbling run, then a 4'6" Chinese preteen do one, who is more likely to step out of bounds?

I don't think i'm understanding what you are saying. What does muscle mass have to do w/ stepping out of bounds?
And about the one-child thing. They are allowed to have more than one child. I think it might depend on the province but I do know that many of the Chinese that lived in my dorm had at least one sibling.
