Guangzhou, Shanghai have the local law that during the summer time, the temp shouldn't below 24C to save the Engery. But for Hong Kong and Singapore, they made temp always 20-21C, for their employees to dress nice suite.
even shops in a rehri market(flea market) have ac's now days. Infact they have better earning than normal shops-because of low input cost, and high footfall.
If this doesn't show you are stupid I don't know what will. Doesn't sales of air conditioners depend on weather of a particular region? India has 2 hot months that is March and April. And not all of India is hot during summer. So most of them use fans to dissipate heat which does the job. Only businesses, Malls, office spaces use AC's in big numbers. Yes, the rich ones too use AC's. But why would Indian middle class use AC's when the overhead fans can do the job just as well? In my city of birth there were not even fans in 1990's as the weather never crossed above 30C. Now I see fans but few AC's here and there.I think people who insist on bringing in Indian economic stats in the Chinese economy thread are very foolish
For example, India is a very hot subtropical nation. China is temperate nation with four seasons and bitterly cold winters in the northern half.
Yet, China buys many times the number of air conditioners than in the rest of Asia -- India is just one of many anonymous countries who together can only afford a small faction of what China could buy:

It is not taste (or need in the case of air conditioning) but the issue of wealth and income.
The best medicine is to return the favor
Actually, it makes no sense to bring up India economics in this thread at all. The numbers are not comparable in any measure
Take it easy on her/him. She is one of the few that posts news bits about China and what is going on. That in itself is valuable to DFI. Don't drive her away. Let her post the news items and photos so we can apprise ourselves of what's happening in China and not be in an echo room.
yes in fact it is good overall for India that it has only 749 KFC stores than 9000 stores in China because it means that Indians are eating more healthy food than the Chinese.
Ahhhh that's not a good stat right there. Goes to show how wasteful we are with water. We need to promote rain harvestation and water conservation practices in India.
Only in March and April??? Man May & June were the worst for me in Delhi. It was like being in an oven during that time in Delhi.
So the state is essentially paying itself since it owns large portion of these companies. Isn’t that just washing funds to boost valuation? Lots of other countries would jail the execs for doing this.
