All China babies have a hole in the seat of their pants.  The purpose is to freely provide the youngster to go to the bathroom.  Our guide said that they do not use diapers, just have the hole in the clothes.  At an early age the mother trains the child to make a certain sound when they need to go, and she quickly sits him/her on the potty.  Thus they soon learn to go for themselves even when they are too young to handle their clothing.
