Western society really is destroying traditional Chinese culture.
A New Policy of Containment, for Baby Bottoms
By DAVID W. CHEN
SHANGHAI � For many tourists, one of the indelible images of China is that of the cutie-pie baby wearing the pants with the giant hole on the bottom. If their timing is right, the tourists might even catch a toddler relieving himself, right on the street.
Visitors may find this disgusting, or delightful, but they may not see such sights much longer, at least in the cities. China’s famous split pants may soon be eclipsed by the disposable diaper.
Urban consumers are embracing the diaper and turning China into one of the world’s fastest growing markets. Annual sales for some brands are climbing by 50 percent or more. Upscale stores are no longer carrying split-pants outfits, but rather shelf after shelf of diapers. Just about all of the babies who grace China’s sleek parenting magazines are wearing diapers.
Man I love those split pants. Who cares if there is baby piss all over the street, at least they aren’t fillin gup the landfills with disposable diapers. Hell, my students always offered me a nice clean newspaper when I sat down.
Maybe I will start a counter offensive and try to bring the split pants to american babies. First I gotta get me some babies…
