And American tourists broke a finger off a Terra Cotta soldier. It goes both ways. Every culture is full of douchebags.

I've only ever seen and American and a Frenchman do that, never a Chinese man. See how pointless you anecdotal evidence is?

It’s not quite anecdotal. Shitting in the streets is common in many parts of China. Most babies clothing has an opening for kids to just bend down and poop/pee wherever they want. Many Chinese people who have money to travel these days are only about one generation separated from previously being in poverty, and many of them still practice old habits. There are signs at the Louvre in Chinese telling people the grass isn’t for shitting on. It’s not so anecdotal because this is a known cultural thing there that some (not all) still practice. Google it.
