You've always had to pay for TP in China. Free toilet paper in public restrooms is exceedingly rare. Same with hand soap. So honestly this is an improvement. The west got this one right I'm afraid.

Get a new bucket list. Unless that bucket it the poo-paper bucket next to poo hole in the ground.

As to how either have money or bring your own TP.

Yes you literally need to bring wipes around with you. Things are slowly changing but for a long time there was no TP in any bathroom stall outside of fancy hotels and maybe high end restaurants.
