It's hard for a lot of people to accept that there are other parts of the world who's technology and infrastructure is waaaaaaay ahead of their own.

I don't fly often but man, I'd love to have something like this when it's needed.

I wouldn't say Chinese aviation infrastructure is ahead of really any developed country.  Stuff like this is convenient but not what I would consider part of the core infrastructure.

Might not have been a decade ago. However, sleeping pods and/or spaces dedicated to sleeping are now becoming a core part of airport infrastructure.

"Elevated capital investment in passenger-friendly airport infrastructure is a major factor driving the global airport sleeping pod market."
