I did a video commentary on some of the skinny trends on the Chinese internet, and explain why they happen. Enjoy!

The paper one only works because their frames are so small. I wear only a size 2 & could never do that. Our paper is 8-1/2" wide. Our bones wouldn't allow for that. We have the politically trend of body positivity in the US right now, but women are still wanting to be slender, of a healthy weight and toned. The multi-billion dollar diet and plastic surgery industries confirm that. There' s a middle ground between obesity and paying to have fat cells vacuumed out of one's body.
