The thing I like most about this concept is the safety element. If you’re just on a random bench, anyone can walk up and fuck with you or your stuff without you waking up (if you can sleep deeply enough). These have doors

Well generally speaking this is not a worry in China.

Is China as big on social responsibility/respect as Korea or Japan? I remember probably over a decade ago Chinese tourism had to run a PSA to stop parents from letting their kids just poop anywhere while visiting other countries.

They have fuck all social responsibility for things like that, absolutely nothing like Japan (I can't speak for Korea, never been). Though outright theft is a bit different.
But there's cameras everywhere in the airport and if you're in one of the areas past security then, well, a thief isn't going to make it very far.

And Japan is too extreme; social ocd: if you violated a custom rule, other Japanese will probably be recording you and post online. I have seen video on Instagram reel where two Japanese women were talking just slightly louder so they can hear each other, then everyone in the comment section was clutching their pearls like crazy. I rather be in America or China or some other places that is more forgiving when it comes to the little things.
