China is still mostly a "bring your own toilet paper and soap" country.
The idea that there should be free toilet paper and soap in every bathroom is just not widely accepted in China. Even in Taiwan, a lot of public bathrooms don't have toilet paper. When you ask people why, they generally respond that people would steal the toilet paper / soap.
I expect that some day, the central government will announce that every bathroom must have toilet paper and soap, and then it will be rolled out very quickly. But that day hasn't come yet.

- justicezyx 6y agoHave you thinker about why there is not toilet paper in public restrooms? Turns out there is multitude issues, but at the core: the country is still poor. There simply isn't enough fund to support the Western style public facility. And TBH, public rest room improvement has nothing to do with democracy anyway. In US, there isn't the public rest room in the same definition as China anyway...
