Chinese circumcision devices

I've seen a number of Chinese devices for quick circumcision of infants, boys, adults (rings, "staplers", etc.). I would not have thought circumcision to be so popular in China outside of the Muslim population.

As everywhere, in China some circumcisions are made for medical purposes and perhaps also for aesthetic purposes.

The Chinese export many objects all over the world. Export such devices is certainly for commercial reasons, in order to have a complete catalog of all medical devices.

I found this study discussing the prevalence of circumcision around the world:

Africa is the continent where circumcision is most common, but it is also the continent where population growth is the strongest. This is certainly a very interesting market for Chinese manufacturers.

Looking at the WHO report it seems like circumcision is here to stay despite opposition in many western countries. There needs to be more investigation and work done on the psychological aspects of circumcision though.

Of course circumcision will be done for a long time, but mainly because of religion. The two religions that mandate circumcision are also those that have the fastest growing populations in general as compared to non-circumcising nations/social groups.

Then again for the US, it should not be forgotten that circumcision rates there are dropping for newborn boys.
