Dear MEL Topic Readers,
China should push 'toilet revolution': Xi
For hygiene, populism, pride or tourism, whatever the motives are, it seems like a good move to have cleaner toilets in China.
There was the Cultural Revolution initiated by Mao Zedong about half a century ago in China. And Xi Jinping was one of them who were sent to a rural village to engage in farming. There he endured the rural standards then, such as innutritious meals, unhygienic toilets, and uninterrupted hard labor. He might have felt that improving hygiene is more essential than destructing traditional cultures for people and the country.
Hygienic reform in tourism spots to public places and facilities, and then rural communities. That sounds like the economic growth path the country has been taking since Deng Xiaoping made his Southern Tour a quarter-century ago.
Since everyone uses toilets at least several times a day, they may remember who provided better toilets for long. It may be more effective and lasting than distributing and having people repeat quotations.
As the world two most-populated countries, India and China, are upgrading and installing cleaner toilets, the world is expected to become more hygienic in the next few years.
Enjoy reading and thinking what the priorities are to make people happier.
