  3. There are many places in China where people litter without giving it a second thought. This goes far back in Chinese history. If you have ever noticed the Chinese do not maintain buildings anew and they are not keen on cleaning. There is a chinese ancient mentality that making new things is better than maintaining existing ones and that decay is inevitable and should not be combated. This is why notion like quality and reliability are still foreign to Chinese. Everything is based on food, you don't eat refreshed food, you only eat fresh food. Notice how few flowers there are in China. You cannot eat flowers, why maintain something that does not profit you. Chinese mentality. Now i want to say united state americans are no better than chinese in terms of pollution especially the anfricans. You will see a lot of trash everywhere. The chinese man probably picked up the plastic bottle but try to say this to a us american and he will take it as a "violation of his right of freedom" also united statians don't understand the notion of common good, maintaining public places clean, for them it's all about private property and there is no common good. So if say you'd tell to an american to pick up a plastic bottle he littered in a public park you have a high chance to get an angry stare, followed by insults to mind your own business and if you stand your ground (which you should) to get assaulted. They reply to valid critic like barking dogs and do not want public vigilante to tell them when they are doing wrong. The same goes with people who park illegally or who play damaging infrasound sound system in public places causing physical malaise. You aks them to turn it down and are accused with the r word. (which by the way is a pirated words who's original meaning was neutral not pejorative) Both the chinese and the usan behavior are despicable.
