Beijing Cleaning up

Although standards of sanitation in many parts of China are still not up to western norms, progress is being made. Bathrooms are a big target of sanitization efforts, and anyone who has ever used a Chinese toilet outside a westernized urban district will have no trouble understanding why.
It seems China is getting pretty serious about this: the government-run People’s Daily news service has even gone so far as to establish a website called China Toilet Net (in Chinese only), which provides toilet news of all stripes, detailing cleanup efforts in cities throughout the country, highlighting bathrooms that are particularly pleasant or unique, and so on. This might be viewed by the cynical as an attempt to remedy with words a problem that ultimately needs to be solved with mops and buckets, but perhaps it is comforting to know that the government takes the problem seriously enough to generate hundreds of articles about it
