I'm all for getting rid of stuff; stuff costs money, takes up space, and you have to think about it every time you come across it.
But you can take my heat and air conditioning out of my dead, 72°F hands.

Of course modern, wealthy Chinese are starting to eat ice cream in summer and turning on the heat in winter (and, to be fair, in places where it gets really, really cold, like in Beijing, they've always had heating in winter) so this attitude is changing, but some of it still persists. Bottled water (and beer in restaurants!) is mostly sold unrefrigerated and Chinese shopping malls in summer are nowhere near as glacial as their counterparts in SE Asia or the west.
That wonderful temperature between 21-22ºC is truly excellent. Paris in the springtime.
