I cast no "blame" on the Chinese. I am simply making an observation.
I have lived with, worked with and shared a city with many Chinese who do not hoark up phlegm. But I have to say that the clearing the throat of phlegm and expectorating is a lot more common. These actions are not about "being cool for the ladies" they are about promoting good health.
There are many cultural differences here that I can and have adjusted to, but this is not one of them.
