alreadyexists Posted July 6, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 6, 2016 Tony lives in Beijing which has a Köppen climate classification of Dwa, which is a humid continental climate (the D part), and has cold winters (the 'w' part) and has a hot summer (the 'a' part). So, it's not that similar to Brum, but I'm sure Tony will fit right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 It gets down to about -20 in Beijing towards the end of the winter, and windchill can make that feel even colder. In the summer it's boiling, and extremely smoggy all year. In the spring there are sandstorms all across northeastern China and the Korean peninsula when sand blows off the Gobi desert. It's basically nothing whatsoever like Birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Did he ever buy that logistics company for £3.2bn ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I've seen no mention of it on his Weibo or the Recon site. But I think it would be unfair to hold that against him, he only said he was in negotiations, and even then it wasn't an actual quote. Another thing with that, I suspect the reported three billion pounds may have been lost in translation and may more likely be three billion yaun, although I know logistics companies can be mega expensive (only because I looked it up at the time).

Surely that is the ultimate litmus test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
