Can you expand more on this? I had same experience in China but not sure how it ties into this story?

  It sounds like they're saying this is only a revelation to people in areas that don't already boil their water normally. Perhaps they may also be implying that because the study was done in China that they are trying to sweep microplastics under the rug as an issue in the first place because their people already boil the water.

  If this study is accurate, then people in China don't need to worry about microplastics in water because they're already boiling all of their drinking water. It would be very convenient for them if this was true, which doesn't make it wrong but does make it somewhat suspicious.

    It has to also be filtered, and they probably don't filter it in most cases. There are water delivery services that might get their water by boiling and filtering from the tap though.
