Paris 44℃ Heatwave… 17th District Mayor Delivers Air Conditioners to Schools Global Times: "Chinese 'Haier' Air Conditioners Highlighted" "Chinese 'Midea' Portable Split Air Conditioners Also in Shortage" [Anchor] In Europe, which is struggling with a heatwave known as the "Omega Heat Dome," Chinese air conditioners are selling like hotcakes. With no time to even discuss trade imbalances, Chinese companies are operating 24 hours a day to meet the flood of orders pouring in from Europe. This is correspondent Kang Jeong-gyu from Beijing. [Reporter] A man dressed in a suit shirt is moving air conditioner boxes; this is the Mayor of the 17th District of Paris, France. He set out to personally deliver the air conditioners after receiving reports that temperatures in school classrooms within his district had soared to 44℃. Choosing that action speaks louder than words, he chose Chinese-made portable air conditioners as his alternative. [Geoffroy-Boulard / Mayor of the 17th District of Paris: I am delivering air conditioners to schools within the 17th district.] [We succeeded in ordering 50 air conditioners so that one can be added to every school.] Chinese state-run media pulled up a video posted by the 17th District Mayor and introduced it, claiming it was a product from a domestic home appliance manufacturer. They also reported that portable split-type air conditioners made by another company are so popular in Europe that people have to queue up to buy them. Although they were once shunned because the outdoor unit hose made it difficult to seal window frames, they are now in short supply due to their low cost and quick installation. [Shanghai TV News (reported on the 27th): Sales of household air conditioners in Europe have increased by over 30% compared to the previous year, with Chinese-made products accounting for 50% of that total.] Items such as electric fans and parasols from the Yiwu Market in Zhejiang Province, known as the "Global General Store," have also experienced an export boom to the "European Heat Dome." [Zhang Jiying / Merchant at Yiwu International Market: You just lightly press a button, and the fan starts spinning.] [It blocks 99% of ultraviolet rays because light cannot penetrate it.] Chinese companies stated that they are operating at full capacity 24 hours a day to meet the exploding demand for air conditioning in Europe. They also did not fail to include propaganda that they are sending goods via China-Europe express freight trains instead of the Middle East shipping routes blocked by the war in Iran. China, which has been in conflict with Europe over trade imbalances, even lectured Europe through its state-run media (Global Times) to learn from its own air conditioning infrastructure first.
