Because they think they live in 3rd world china still with all the pollution. It doesn't bother me since most of them are disgusting to look at.

I know china and Japan has poor air quality/ smog issues. So I think it stems from the practice of wearing it at home. In addition it reduces the transmission of virus through coughing and sneezing. I observed that many chinese folks often cough without covering their mouths and will spit almost anywhere. I was standing in an office and two elderly chinese people spat in the garbage bin in the office instead of excusing themselves and going to the bathroom. This behaviour is only observed in the less educated older folks who are not from the main cities.
