Post subject: No F in China

Is ther a way to remove the 65 ° F ?
Where does that F stands for ?
Do people use "F" in China ?

F = Farenheit temperature scale
China use C, the Celcius temperature scale
9*C/5 = F-32

hopefully you were looking for a literal explanation

But thanks for confirming that China use C. There are weird expats thinking that China is using both.
