In China this year also marks 10 years since Chinese President Xi Jinping declared a “Chinese Toilet Revolution”, aimed at upgrading the country’s bathrooms and hygiene standards. Despite large improvements, work remains to be done. Report by FRANCE 24 correspondents in China, Jan Camenzind Broomby and Eudeline Boishult.
