Sad but true, the sitting toilet is a symbol of modernity to Westerners. In its effort to make Beijing Olympic ready, China has invested much into building and refining its infrastructure. The toilet should not be overlooked as a major part China’s modernization efforts, as it is also provides insights into better sanitation systems.
