Bizarre and outdated. But don't knock it because one of those prerequisites might've served well in a very public scandal that China probably might've learned it from involving astronaut diapers.

How are Chinese taikonauts adapting to space sickness? Nearly 50% of travelers in space experience space sickness during their first week in space due to trying to adapt to zero-gee. It can range from moderate to severe. Will China discuss this or keep it hidden?
"....Space motion sickness is caused by changes in g-forces, which affect spatial orientation in humans. According to Science Daily, "Gravity plays a major role in our spatial orientation. Changes in gravitational forces, such as the transition to weightlessness during a space voyage, influence our spatial orientation and require adaptation by many of the physiological processes in which our balance system plays a part. As long as this adaptation is incomplete, this can be coupled to motion sickness (nausea), visual illusions and disorientation. As with sea sickness and car sickness, space motion sickness symptoms can vary from mild nausea and disorientation, to vomiting and intense discomfort; headaches and nausea are often reported in varying degrees. About half of sufferers experience mild symptoms; only around 10% suffer severely."

Well is it something which is usually reported in media? If not then you probably won't hear about it, although there are lots of CCTV commentary shows about shenzhou 9 at the moment, that might be one of the topics.
But there's not exactly any incentive to massively publicize or secretively hide this kind of information, is there?
Besides, there are usually other things to discuss in media apart from how affected the astronauts were by space sickness...

I'm not surprised you're not watching the English language feed of CCTV-9. They already discussed this and the American expert they have on their panel said you'll experience space sickness in the first 24 hours in space then you adjust. Since the Taikonauts are working normally, I guess there's no conspiracy in works like you think.
