Not necessarily, if they were Chinese.
Personally, I have no problem where a small child urinates in the street under the protection of its parents. It's one of the things that very young children need & do in many countries.
However, the Chinese are well known for their lack of social graces of the when , how & where they empty their bowels.
An incident occurred in CM a year or so back, where some Chinese woman decided to have a dump in the moat around the city. She too was photographed.
They're not the most sophisticated of people.
Oh, and I agree with you about the other incidents as well.
