I live in China 7-8 months of each year and while I do
see people spitting on occasion NEVER have I seen
gobs of spit on a sidewalk. I should mention that I
likewise have not been a witness people cleaning
their ears in public save but one time in a small city
square where a professional ear-cleaner had set
up shop. Sure, the Chinese belch but so do people
everywhere, it is a natural human response to eating
and while in the west we try to be more discreet about
belching it's pretty impossible to totally stifle its sound.
