This is shocking to me, not that they had a problem. But that Beijing seems to have paid so little attention to that particular area. Especially when <a href="http://shanghaiist.com/2005/11/07/easy_relief.php">Shanghai</a> has already been focusing on improving their public toilets for the World Expo that's not until 2010! I rarely read article on aol, and found this link from another American site. I also have not heard anything about it from any reliable Chinese blogs or news. If it is true, that Beijing has a substantial lack in western style toilets. That really is ridiculous.<br /><br />Update----<br /><br />Today most the blogs in the Chinese Blogosphere have picked up the toilet story, looks like it's true, but Beijing will be doing a lot to fix it.
