Are you implying air pollution in China is not bad anymore? I wish that was the case because I would visit a lot more but you need to educate yourself a little bit just go look here: https://aqicn.org/map/china/

I'm sure it's better than it was before and it's not India bad but it's almost always considered unhealthy in most parts throughout the whole year

I did a cycling trip last year with people around that age and they were incredibly strong on the bike but were still relatively frail and had terrible mobility. I would never advise them to stop cycling because they were definitely way way healthier if they weren't doing that but it would really be nice for them to do some lifting for just one or two hours per week

Yes and people don't realize how much it helps with mobility. I used to not really train my legs and would just do lighter weight mobility exercises but I was still very stiff in some movements even after years. It was only when I added in proper weight training that my body started to loosen up. Tight muscles generally are weak muscles after all. Plus it's very rewarding seeing the weights gradually going up and actually seeing your muscles growing, not to mention the dozens of other benefits

Nobody is actively discouraging that so you are just making up a strawman argument. That said cross training is very important for things like injury prevention. So if you just do something like running and nothing else at some point you are far more likely than not to get injured to the point that you have to completely stop or switch to something lower impact like cycling. And while cycling is great it doesn't have lots of the benefits of something like strength training so things like your bone health could still rapidly deteriorate as you age. So that means something relatively preventable like a fall leading to a broken hip that you never recover from can still happen to you. But yeah just do what you like and make sure you don't do anything you don't like in the moment

Almost anything related to nutrition that goes beyond the very basic surface level questions is blocked

If somebody gives a longer explanation of why they like or dislike it that would just be more noise it doesn't really matter that much beyond their general opinion about it

Yeah totally it just comes down to if you're able to play the "games you want to play". But I definitely think there will be some disappointed buyers who don't quite realize the limitations
