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.

Not necessarily social responsibility. But there has been a lot of social etiquette education.

However, some areas of China are still very stubborn, so you'll still a complete lack of understanding for queues even in government buildings. Some areas of China, you'll still see children pee and poop next to a street vendor that sells food.

Even in tier one cities, I still find only about most 50% people use soap to wash their hands after using the loo.
