Well that's lovely Hedda.  Dubious public health benefit, of course. What is not in doubt is that spitting everywhere is detrimental to public health; so perhaps you could ask her what Confucius had to say about this revolting and ubiquitous act by the modern Chinese? I say this working in central London most days and having to take tap-dancing classes to try & avoid the globdules of asiatic spittle that rain down on the streets daily...?[/quote]

I've never seen her spit (who knows what she does at home) but I don't think I'll be asking her if she does. :S

## I would have thought that The Government of the People's Republic of China has already told the people that spitting is an unacceptable & unhealthy practice & I doubt the 770 million Middle Class indulge in such a practice.

But who knows what the other 700 million do? :ohmy:[/quote]

JK2006	I actually became aware of Asians wearing masks about 5 years ago when I got my Freedom Pass and started using the Tube again (love it - it's so clean compared to 60 years ago). I assumed - I think rightly - it was because of pollution which is, I'm told, far worse in big cities in China. It made sense to me so when Covid arrived in Wuhan I bought an expensive but excellent mask.
Honey	I would rather have stayed blissfully unaware. I do often see people in tracksuits and beanie hats doing "the noise" and spitting in the street, but they are never Chinese, or women. I think it must be visitors rather than established communities, but you did well not to thump him, Wyot.

Well one of them spat on my shoes on Xmas eve...apparantly in a belief that their system will be purged of impurities. Well, I suppose it is as informed by science as mask-wearing; so why not... Though why he couldn't have spit on his own shoes I don't know...
