Meeting global demand for cool products

'Summer economy' reflects nation's advantages in technological innovation, supply chain integration and market responsiveness

Inside the bustling workshop of Dongguan JHS Electrical Co Ltd, a manufacturer of mobile air conditioners and dehumidifiers in Dongguan, South China's Guangdong province, the hum of machines filled the air as workers move swiftly through the assembly line, fastening, inspecting and packaging in early July.

A total of 458 portable air conditioners rolled off the production line, neatly boxed and ready for export to Mexico. As sweltering heat waves grip many regions around the world, China's "summer economy" is gaining momentum, with domestic manufacturers racing to meet soaring overseas demand for cooling solutions.

With operations spanning more than 40 countries and regions, the Chinese company has established itself as a major player in the global cooling equipment market.
