Found in the onboard magazine in a Chinese high-speed train.
In practical terms this means passengers in two carriages will be annoyed ,instead of just in one....

Assuming there is a vestibule between carriages.

It says a lot about tolerance towards children.

At the end of each EMU - yes. Not between open coaches in the unit.

I once had to endure hearing a child crying for 1,5 hours inside a Corail car. I had to call the parents for attention in attending to their child and everyone on the carriage thanked me for the intervention.

The problem isn't just the tolerance that people have towards children. Parenting incompetence is also a very common problem.
