Is it true that a lot of the public restrooms don't have toilet paper? I swear that pops up in every "what to know if you travel to China" article I've ever read.

I heard that before i came here, but so far all of them have had toilet paper, including the ones on the train (which also have the in ground toilets which I love!)
Portable bidet gang rise up!
CuloClean! Fits in a water bottle!
What's the visa process like? I also live in the states for reference.
Filled out a lengthy online form, printed it out along with some visa pictures and went to the consulate to apply, it took two days for them to approve it and they gave me a 10 year multi-entry visa.
How much did you budget? Id like to visit eventually for a week or two but I have no idea on the cost. Ive never left the US.
We don't have a budget (I know I'm lucky), but food/cabs/most stuff is super cheap. Can get a good meal for around $5 us, a DiDi (China Uber) from the train stations to our hotels have typically been around $7 for ~30 min trips and most museums and attractions we've been to have been under $10/person.

Where are you? I've been to China recently and it doesn't reflect my experience at all
