More on Chinese Toilets

A Taiwanese model named Meng Guangmei (孟广美) who came to the Mainland ten years ago and built a career as a TV presenter and entertainer was invited to be a guest on Taiwanese talk show Hongse Fengbao (红色风爆). During the show, she talked about public toilets on the Mainland, saying that previously Mainland toilet didn't have doors, and mentioning some toilets near Tiananmen Square where she saw a hundred pale "asses".

An annoyed forum writer put up a post about how Meng has been happy to earn money from the Mainland for the last ten years, but now goes around outside saying bad things about the PRC. Sina republished the post on their home page (another Sina report here) as did several other websites such as Mop.com.

Note the commenter who sarcastically says it's not nationalist indignation:

This is fascinating - it couldn't possibly be nationalist indignation, as she is from Taiwan... but when push comes to shove... we see what happens!

If a mainlander said the same, would anyone notice? Oops, mainlanders and Taiwanese are the same!
