Authorities is Beijing have recently announced new measures to assess the cleanliness of it's currently unpleasant public toilets, and are implementing a 'two fly rule' in the Chinese capital. The guidelines state that no public toilet should have more than two flies inside at any one time, though it does not go on to say what punishment would be issued should a third fly be found. This comes after the hygiene standards were criticised during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
These new rules are to be put in place by the Beijing Municipal Commission of City Administration and Environment, and also include standards for litter (no more than two items, both of which must be removed from the premises within half an hour), odour and signage. Questions have been raised over whether officials will count the number of flies inside the toilets and, inevitably, will it actually improve the quality of the Chinese lavatories?
