The Beijing authorities have passed a new law, according to which in all public toilets located throughout the city, in one booth there can be no more than two flies, as well as in the trash can there should be no more than two pieces of discarded garbage, as well as a whole series of very strange restrictions.
The new law was introduced in May this year by the decision of the Beijing Municipal Commission for City Administration and Environment. The newest rules, in addition to strict face control for flies, limiting their number, as well as a time limit for which all garbage must be removed so that it does not spoil the smell in a public toilet — the garbage must be disposed of within half an hour. This is a very strange, but, nevertheless, useful innovation, somewhat remotely reminiscent of the ban on eating horses in England..
In addition to these two strange but very useful rules, the new law also requires that every toilet has information signs telling how to use the services of a public restroom, and not only in Chinese, but also in English. And also the new law will oblige all owners of public toilets to improve the conditions for disabled people to use the toilet..
The new requirements are intended to improve the quality of public washrooms in the Chinese capital. At the moment, the amount of the fine that will have to be paid in case of evading the implementation of the new charter has not yet been established, and what will happen if a third fly is suddenly discovered, and who, in fact, will look for this flies.
