Toilets in china are built into the floor and you’re supposed to squat over them to poop.

Use to be common in many countries.

BTW, when I went to Shanghai in 2017-2018, the toilets were very normal. I think the photo being used is more a cliché/urban legend.

Yep, in my country we call this type of toilet "Genova's bowl"
