Fines for littering, spitting and defecation in public were upped to a maximum of 200 yuan ($28).
In the past, these regulations were enforced in a patchy way and the habits have not been stamped out completely.

The laws also encourage police to report serious offences, which may affect a person's social credit score – a fledgling system which aims to assess individual actions across society – though it did not provide more specifics.
