"Beijing, eager to freshen up its primitive privies before it hosts the 2008 summer Olympics, recently added high-tech, self-cleaning toilets near tourist sites like the Forbidden City and Summer Palace and promised to keep them stocked with toilet paper.
Most of China's public lavatories are squat-style pits with no running water, toilet paper or hand-washing facilities."

good stuff.
