China (HK, atleast) seems to care a lot about the US elections.

isn't chewing gum banned in china?

you should see nyc subway lol

You're thinking of Singapore, where they have super-strict laws against all sorts of public conduct stuff because the Chinese tend to be rather crude in their public conduct (Spitting anywhere and everywhere is a big problem).

While gum isn't against the law, you can't buy it anywhere. HK is a very clean city. Any act of littering (including spitting) can result in a fine into the tens of thousands of HK dollars
