China is experiencing a "toilet revolution" initiated by North Korean President Xi Jinping himself in 2015. Now public toilets are equipped with Wi-Fi, televisions, ATMs and turbo toilets. Some toilets are even equipped with a facial recognition system so that toilet paper is used sparingly. And not to steal.

And then they steal toilet paper: China has opened a toilet of the future with a facial recognition system Toilets of the future with facial recognition technology have already been installed in two Chinese cities. Each visitor will be automatically given 40-80 centimeters of toilet paper after the system scans the face. If you need more than the issued amount, please wait 9 minutes.

High-tech toilets have been installed in the cities of Changsha and Chongqing.

It is somewhat illogical, because such established amenities as free Wi-Fi, phone chargers, vending machines and ATMs just assume that the visitor will want to stay longer.

And in poor settlements, more than 14 million people are forced to do their business on the street. The old public toilets are no less a terrible sight — holes in the floor, no toilet paper, soap and privacy. All this, as the authorities fear, may affect tourism.
