China leads the way in revolutionizing toilets

In China's traditional culture, toilets were once a modest thing, and one would treat it normal that the toilet is smelly. However, with social economic

advancement, clean and hygienic family toilets have become the norm. In some densely populated areas and tourist attractions, public toilets are in short supply. In particular, some toilets are dirty, messy with poor facilities, which can easily give tourist a bad experience.

Therefore, be it rural revitalization or sanitation improvement, toilet construction renovation has become indispensable in local livelihood projects.

Zhou Yibiao, professor at the School of Public Health of Fudan University, says the toilet revolution not only promotes the improvement of infrastructure and environmental sanitation, but also changes old ideas in rural areas. "The construction of toilets is conducive to controlling the transmission of schistosomiasis and intestinal diseases, and it has a far-reaching impact," he says.
