Dutch tiled sidewalks are different from what I have seen in China. They embed thick tiles, hardened bricks nowadays, in sand. Chinese make concrete sidewalks topped with thinner tiles. Nice when it rains some tiles work like mud pumps spraying your feet.
BTW I have no statistics on Chinese sidewalk maintenance, but when I lived there development was so fast that a sidewalk would have to be broken up every 2, 3 years anyway for new cables, pipes or whatever. I always wondered why they didn't use the tile plus sand system, as this involved always in noisy and dusty concrete hammering.
