China has roughly the same lattitudes as the United States. China's climate stretches from the tundra cold of Manchuria to the tropical zones of Hong Kong and Hainan (location of spy plane incident). 300 million Chinese live in Manchuria, which is just under the Russian Far East and experience colder weather than the Dakotas, so I would say they are used to it. The majority of Africa have climate too dry and hot for the rice-farming Chinese. One exception is South Africa. The Chinese aren't in Africa because they like to live in Africa, they are there because of business.
