This image comes from Shanghai supposedly.

This one I don't know where it was taken.


And you think that is a reliable method or source for accurate measurement of temperature in a region (i.e. district / city / province).

Pro tip: don't trust any numbers coming out of a one party state.
This rule of thumb applies to things like:
population growth https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/chinese-population-smaller-than-stated-and-shrinking-fast-by-yi-fuxian-2022-07,
COVID-19 deaths https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-61117738,
natural disasters https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1009524/officials-deliberately-hid-deaths-during-henan-floods,-report-finds#:~:text=The floods killed 398 people,July, according to the report.,
central Asians getting genocided, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide
and so on and so forth.

it is just pathetic that people debate on a natural disarster in a china politics thread, fortunatly it is not a proof of meteorological weapon made in China.....
As a fact , China did manipulated temps in history, I heard of such things in the 90s or early 2000s, so construction workers were still allowed to work under the sun.
Nowadays things are different, most working places are equipped with air-conditioners, I am in the air-conditioning industry, I know what's going on here, a reliable quality 1.5HP wall-mounted split type inverter air conditioner is about 2000~3000YUAN, which is around $350, R410A or R232 refrigerant,with a COP of 3.0 or APF-4. We are upgrading energy efficiency every year, you can hardly find new R22-refrigerant or fixed frequency equipments today. The govment is putting lots of money into the industry, encouraging people to buy air-conditioners with high energy performance. The goverment is making serious efforts to lower our carbon emission.
I, as a air conditioning system designer, had visited so many construction sites, join meetings, do investigations...etc, the workers were no longer allowed to work at a temprature above 37°C(air temprature),for those who must, will receive a hightemp-compensation. The workers are not fools, they refuse to work at high temprature without such compenstions, and usually companies choose to save the money if a few days delay is not essential.
It is just a bit silly to estimate that the goverment will still do such a thing nowadays.... China has maga-computers and hundreds of meteorological satellites, my phone told me the rain will last another 10 minutes, everyone could check accurate temps at every hour, every city, with a a variety of apps (weatherforcast is a liitle different on iphone and android phones).
I have many friends in different cities, some are in sichuan and chongqing, I never saw them post any Moments complaining about temperature misread. Not a single one this summer.
Well, if some of you believe the Chinese are suffering in fire, then ...thanks for you attention.

You're saying there's no heat wave then? Even looking at portals like Windy you can see that SE China has temperatures like in the middle of the desert in Saudi Arabia (even Sahara isn't as hot it seems).

No, he is not, he looks more like a floating overlord with alzheimer disease ,
murmuring the nonsense everyday.
The malicious one is that JimmeC if you read the whole thread,
who attacked people like a lurker,
cos he attacks everyone.
People like them poop lots of shit are making this once good forum
stink now.

What does this map even show? + Show Spoiler +
That there's temperature over 40C a bit south of Xi'an in the middle of nowhere?
It's kinda funny that the same map has this area in the same color as all the important cities to the south and south-east of this point, which are having the biggest issues with heat wave and it shows them at 35C (5C is a HUGE swing). If you look at almost any other weather map online you'll see that if anything the temperature to the south and south-east of this place is higher and not lower...

You can even look at an old weather data for that:

41575727235074@1601500555238/Map-of-the-annual-average-temperature-in-modern-China-revised-from-Xu-and-Zhang-2017.png" alt="[image loading]" title="">


Looking at this map (the annual average temperature) shows that the temp at the southern part of China from the point where they show 40C should be around 6C higher, not 5C lower...

Serpentza & co is where I expected you to pick up that propaganda.


Where else am I to look for a reliable source of information then? They're people who've spent over a decade living in China, have Chinese wives and family, a lot of friends there so get access to all the internal news but also have the foreign perspective.

Give me alternatives that aren't state propaganda, have similar length of experience, are not Chinese nationals and I'll gladly check them out (I will also check Chinese nationals' opinions but I'll take them with a grain of salt).


That the propaganda you repeatedly spread and continue to push claiming "weather forecasts in local media in China don't show temperatures over 39C" is demonstrably false.

It is such aggressively stupid propaganda I felt compelled to point it out.

What makes it propaganda? You seem fixated at a detail instead of the point, that they are artificially lowering the temperature. That is propaganda because the state is sending it out to influence the peoples opinions on what they are doing.

Some youtuber putting out info and not hitting every detail 100% is not "propaganda".


This is pants on fire level fake news honestly.
When the central claim is that the Chinese government censors temperatures above 39 degrees in order to avoid workers getting a day off, then direct evidence proves the contrary, this is not just an honest mistake. This is pants on fire.


That's one of the reasons why this thread was started. Almost all the sources I was able to find claimed that the temps are capped. If they're not that's good but I still find it suspect that forecasts show 40-41 and people claim temps of 45-50+


I see a few issues with this statement.

1, source
Your statement implied multiple source state the same thing (temperature reported capped at 39 C). But how many of them are primary source?

Let take an imaginary example to illustrate this point: Let say the BBC, CNN, ABC all reported the same story, which was feed to them by AP. how many source was there? The answer is 1, the source is AP, and AP alone.

I doubt your "source" would actually be able to independently measure the temperature, so I think I could "boldly" claimed that whatever source you are reading, they are secondary source.

2, no counter checking
The claim is that the temperature reported in public available weather report, while it is unlikely the chinese state television provide polish language coverage, it is not unheard of that it provide english coverage, which you could have checked. Your english language is good enough to post in this forum, then your english language is good enough to check the english channel of chinese state television.

3, science knowledge?
it is very much possible for individual to experience the temperature higher than that of reported by the observatory. If you put a car under direct sunlight for a period of time, close all the windows and turn off air-condition system, it is normal to have the temperature inside the car to be higher than the outside. While quantitatively, I cannot say how many degree higher would be possible as I do not have the required information to calculate, stating "people reported they measured higher temperature than the observatory' is not really a good / reliable indicator of reporting bias / error of the observatory.
Surely if this imagined massive conspiracy theory is more than propaganda originated by people like the bargain basement version of Tucker Carlson & co in China (Serpentza) we could expect to see reporting about it in places like the AP, BBC, CNN, ABC, WaPo, etc.

That none of them are running stories about this conspiracy theory indicates its potency is rooted in Sinophobic orientalism.

EDIT: Not that I take them as gospel, they are all unabashedly capitalist propagandists, but that even they aren't pushing this conspiracy theory should tell people how ridiculous it is.

JimmiC ,I don't know if you are 8 or 88,white or black, male or female, I don't really care what kind person you are ,but according to you former posts you seem to be someone really hates people, I will be sorry if I were wrong.
this thread offered an oppotunity for the chinese sc players and western players to discuss problems and seek common ground while reserving differences,it could be productive and constructive, and there will be so many things happen in the future for people to discover,
you,
have ruined this thread.
Congratulations.
please don't hate me for my words, we once loved starcraft, we had at least 1 thing in common.

Fascinating Thread. I find this article trustworthy:

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2334921-heatwave-in-china-is-the-most-severe-ever-recorded-in-the-world/

“There is nothing in world climatic history which is even minimally comparable to what is happening in China.”
Also
"It remains scientifically unclear whether cloud seeding makes a significant difference."

My understanding is that ground temperatures anywhere in the world can be read by weather satellites pretty accurately. If the CCP were to spread false temperature readings via news etc, the jig would be up pretty quickly due to temperature reports from outside of China. That said the CCP is certainly downplaying the severity of the climate crisis in China, this is to be expected and can be seen 1st hand by the lack of reporting on the subject from the major pro CCP and Xi Jinping news outlets:

Search 'Climate' and/or 'Drought' on the major pro CCP news outlets; http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/ and https://www.globaltimes.cn/ for example.

BTW these 'news' sites are actually hilarious, the level of 'Wonderful leader, China is the greatest' combined with 'poor China, we are victims, USA is the worst' is cracked.

The nude unashamed propaganda maw, unmoved by mere facts, propelled by its own truth holds the people high, high aloft in dreams of unique success. It feeds them, clothes them and nurses them with but one aim alone; complete control of humanity through the historical narrative. There in utopian embraces it shackles us, only to unceremoniously devour and shit us out once we behold its eyes, its gargantuan lust for docile minds. And there in the death-muck we warn you; none are immune to its allure.

老子解封了。
先说,同胞们,请不要在这里和这几个傻屌讨论,你们能用英文讨论这些的,都是受过高等教育的,没必要和这些垃圾浪费时间。
这个帖子如我所料,成了几个傻屌在这里自嗨的帖子,完全没有讨论的氛围,你想给他们讲事情的历史缘由,人家直接说了,这里不讨论中国历史,只讨论(骂)中国政治。他们不在乎我们怎么想,他们只想他们来决定这里或者那里归不归中国。这何其似曾相识:他们在非洲和北美用直尺划线分殖民地的时候,一样不在乎非洲和北美原住民的想法。不同的只是,他们一起来,我们也不怕他们。
所以不要浪费时间和他们讨论了,好好工作好好生活。老毛说过,帝国主义只有在不得不讲道理的时候才会和你讲道理。就这样,封我吧,傻逼们!!!!!

Yeah. There are also news of people painting grass, bushes, quarries and mountain sides (with green oil paint no less) as well as rolling camo netting down the hills and stapling fake leaves on the trees to pretend everything is fine...

It really paints a bleak picture. Especially now with extended and stricter lockdowns (to the point where they don't let people evacuate during earthquakes) it all seems like China is visibly falling apart at the seams while simultaneously trying to project the image of strength.

Edit:

This is pretty crazy...

Word of a possible military coup in China, Xi in house arrest potentially? Dunno how reliable any of it is but I feel like it warrants mention.

Yeah I’m very curious why this may have happened, if it is true I mostly hope it’s not gonna be an increase in the authoritarianism and a decrease, though tbh I’m not sure how I feel about potentially having China’s tech sector basically get cracked open, that feels like it could have some bad effects.

Until a Western source reports on it then I am suspect. This could just be India's bot farms etc. at work. Besides there are a ton of foreigners in China, all with cellphones. Yet nothing...
