Q: Is this true or is it a hoax ?

I just read on Yahoo News that Beijing Municipal Government has instituted a two fly maximum rule in public rest rooms.  At all the time, only a maximum of two flies will be allowed in any Beijing public rest room, if a third fly is detected inside it, it will not be allowed and must be destroyed.  Is this serious ?.  Has anyone else heard about this ?   Whose responsibility will be to kill the third fly present ?

Sometimes, if this is true, from sublime to ridiculous is just a short step.  What is really better for users, to eliminate that third fly, or to have the rest room clean so it does not attract any flies ?.  

I can see now someone calling the Police if a thrid fly is spotted inside a public restroom in Beijing.

What it means is that the same filth will remain, but the place will absolutely stink of cheap fly/insect spray.

Despite bathrooms being dirty, I haven't experienced many flies. However, throwing the trash bags at the trash heap, that's a different story.

Read it in my local Canadian paper today. Just a brief, but funny. I actually don't think the PUBLIC toilets are that bad. It's the privately owned ones in resaurants and such that are horrid.

 

Public ones usually have a live in caretaker that cleans it every couple hours.

Well, when you are running the government of the largest country on earth, sometimes you have to be really clear about sanitary standards. Mandates help to push the government agencies into action.

First ask Yahoo how many flies are present in their office. If more then two, then you look for the nearest bathroom to find salvation.

Funny?, Not at all. Just simple logic. 
I wish flie(s) were my only problems in my life. 
Yahoo is not the best source for news and/or information.
Reuters which is an established News Agency also writes about stuff like that. 
Under "Odd" section...but no one take it seriously.

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
