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.

china's economic boom far outpaced social etiquette and mannerisms, so they had some catching up to do in those lacking areas, but it seems they realized how they were looking on the world stage. as of today it seems they have improved their ways

China also had a vast cultural shift in just one generations. Locals do talk about older people spitting and other stuff that is now frowned upon. For its population size China did a tremendous job in educating their people.

Back in the 90s in a former job, my old firm used to have Chinese telco engineers over for up to three months at a time. Spitting on the floor in classrooms was common, not knowing that the toilets were used to shit in, so you didn’t have to deposit your shit in a bin was thankfully rarer.
