How is CHINA reinventing the TOILET?

In the past decades, public toilets in China generally had a bad reputation, they were often dirty and poorly maintained, making them unpleasant to use. In 1993 around only 7,5% of the rural areas in China had toilets, however, by the end of 2016 the figure has gone up to 80,3% and 85% by 2020.

[@RitaAlano]

As recent as 2019 when I last visited China, squat toilets were still the norm. I remembered walking all over Baiyun International Airport looking for a seat toilet. I couldn't find any! I had to squat and failed to rise from my squating position. I fell. Fortunately, the toilet was super clean. It was embarrassing but I didn't get hurt, except my pride and self confidence. Today I'm 75.

[@Tampin111]

Ideally they can add some retractable grab bars to allow users especially senior to use our arms to lift up from our squatting position

[@RitaAlano]

@@Tampin111 More ideally, they can turn half the public toilets into toilets with seats instead of having only one or two token ones. And they allowed those token toilet seats to be neglected in most of the cities I visited in Central China back in 2019.

I visited Guizhou recently n noted the vast toilet improvements. Plenty toilets were added n they were almost all clean n well maintained. I hv a couple suggestions though. The ratio of toiets shld b doubled or more for females as we take longer time using them. I noticed dire, insufficient seated toilets though. People with injury or recently operted on n those who hv leg probelms cant use the many available squat toilets. Toilet makers shld take note to design all toilets, especially the squatting ones with foldable railings or some sort of sliding or pop up ones to address this problem for easier usage.

A lot of Chinese cities still have squat toilets (not safe for seniors and handicapped people) with no toilet paper, water and soap. The squat toilet is supposed to be cleaner because your butt doesn't touch anything, but sometimes l see pee on the floor etc. My grandma have to wear a diaper when she wants to go out a little longer since she is 88 and can't squat anymore. Please provide at least one handicapped seated toilet in public spaces.

One of the many reasons I have been so concerned about visiting Asia is lack of clean facilities when traveling outside of the large cities. I want to go to pretty places not just the crowded location but have seen so much spoken about the bad rest areas. I literally would wear a diaper if I had to deal with those squatting toilets, that is how you get sick and die. It is very sad for the people to live that way and that is why you see people doing their business in the street on videos. People should not be living that way in 2024 no matter their form of government. I am glad to see China address this, their people work hard and deserve better.
