With the 2008 Beijing Olympics on the horizon, officials are doing their best to clean up Beijing citizen’s bad habits, including spitting, pushing and shoving in lines, allowing pets to relieve themselves in public and dodging traffic. “They are stubborn diseases that stain the image of the capital city,” Zi Huayun, the delegate, told the country’s English-language newspaper, China Daily. Also on the list; signs using bad English, smoking and foul language.
