People in eastern countries such as China tend to be much more lax when it comes to how strangers react to children. It isn’t uncommon for Chinese women to come up to infants in a restaurant and bring them back for the waitstaff to dote on them.

However, easterners claim that the warmth and friendliness from people in these countries should not be construed in a negative manner by those who are too uptight about it.
