Look at teenage girls in Australia, Europe and the Americas (if not most other places), they dress more like women, you see them constantly entangled with the opposite sex (or same sex if they fancy), they are making out in corners, benches, beaches and parks. But in China it is much rarer. Most Chinese students don't lose their virginity till mid university or later. More than 50% of university students in China surveyed by one of my students (in one of the most interesting presentations I have had in my class in 10 years) had not been kissed by the age of 21.
