Heatwave in Europe: The Chinese mock the lack of air conditioning on the continent
Against the backdrop of an extreme heatwave that has been hitting Europe recently, users in China have begun circulating content on social networks that mocks the state of infrastructure on the continent, with an emphasis on the lack of air conditioners. According to a report on 'Hadashot 360', Chinese users contemptuously note that "in China, air conditioners are installed even in pigsties," this being a comparison to the shortage felt in private homes and public spaces in Europe.
The report joins another review by Carmel News - חדשות, who noted that "the Chinese are trolling the Europeans and showing that even their pigs have air conditioning." Israel News IL also echoed the report on the trend on social networks, which highlights the technological and infrastructural gap in the eyes of Chinese users in the context of dealing with high temperatures.
It seems that the phenomenon reflects an attempt by users in China to portray Europe as unprepared for climate change and the current heatwave, while using extreme examples to illustrate the standards in China compared to those known in Europe.
