People said that Chinese food has too much oil and could easily gain weight, is that true?

Yeah, that is probably true, people cook with a lot of oil because we need to fry them. But there are also steam food and boiled food.
Talking about gaining weight, people may gain more weight from western food due to a lot of fat (cheese, butter....) and sugar (desert), while the Chinese eat more vegetables and grains.

Yes its true too greesy and salty very bad for hi cholestrol and high blood pressure. At times its used to mask the freshnesss of the ingredient. This is especially in the inland area where refrigeration is not a norm and salt is used to preserve the meat.
