[quote=JABAROOTOO,251298]Let's get back to the point!

I think what concerns most foreigners most when we visit or live here in China is the actual amount of expectorant that any one person expels from his body in a ten minute period.  I know many Chinese who never spit in my presence at least and I personally, even with a cold or flu have difficulty expectorating more than once or twice a day during the illness.

Q. I guess I am more curious about why there are such copious quantities of the offending phlegm when many other societies do not seem to have such a severe issue.

Littering is something else again and if you don’t litter around your own personal space, I.e. your home then why on earth do you think you have the right to dump in everyone’s public space.  
It is a simple matter to keep your rubbish until you find a suitable receptacle.

And as for us from the WEST – well we are far from perfect.  I don’t remember anyone saying they were.  We are just expressing our opinions on both these issues, whether others agree or not.

Perhaps someone can answer the above question which may help the rest of us understand and thus accept.
