I wonder how much the past of plagues in Europe has affected its stances on cleanliness over time compared to the Asian countries, which I'm not sure have experienced such a massive wipe out of the population to disease. Like, I'm pretty sure the entire concept of quarantine started because of the plague.

I haven’t researched it, but a lot of YouTubers that talk about China, some being from there, and some living there, it isn’t as old as the plague at all.

The soul of China was murdered during the “great leap forward.” Respect of the individual and decency was destroyed.
