China orders factories to shut down amid fiercest heat wave in six decades

yes, they are dying because they have power shortages and problems. Not enough for the AC. That wouldn't be a problem if they didn't ban Australian coal.

You understand the argument, right? Sounds like you are going out of your way to defend the government's decision to ban Aussie coal.

The factories aren't being shut down for the workers either - "China's Sichuan province has ordered all factories to shut down for six days to ease a power shortage in the region as a scorching heat wave sweeps across the country".

They are in danger of blackouts so they are trying to preserve energy. And back to my point, they would have more energy available if they didn't ban Aussie coal.
