The text claims that many Chinese people never brush their teeth and that about 40% rinse their mouths with green tea.
The claim that many Chinese people never brush their teeth is exaggerated. Evidence shows that less than half brush twice daily, not never. As for green tea mouth rinsing, although green tea is noted for oral health benefits, there's no evidence supporting 40% of the Chinese population using it for mouth rinsing. Both claims lack sufficient support from reliable sources.

Many Chinese people never brush their teeth.
Evidence from multiple sources indicates less than half of Chinese people brush their teeth twice daily, which suggests poor oral hygiene but not that they never brush. This provides partial support but refutes the absolute claim of 'never.'
