I don't really see where the humour is here, but that might be because I'm from a warmer country. Regardless, I've rewritten the sentence.

Geographical grouping
As this is a geographical-related event, the headings should be by geographical area. I understand people don't like grouping Hong Kong as part of "Mainland China", but are there any better geographical terms, which could be used to summarise "China" without infringing on Taiwan?

Another approach may be to group Ghanzhou and Hong Kong and keep Inner Mongolia separate, as its climate is more like Korea than southern China... I don't claim to be an expert on East Asian geography, so maybe someone with more local knowledge can give an idea. JollyΩJanner07:10, 1 February 2016 (UTC)reply
No, the current headings are about as neutral as you can get. The information on Hong Kong is detailed enough to warrant a separate section anyway.

Hong Kong, Mainland China and Taiwan are distinct geographical areas in themselves. Conventionally, when there are events that concern the region they are split into Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong (+Macau), even though Guangzhou and Inner Mongolia are thousands of kilometres apart. Subdividing Mainland China into regions would require more expansion on the effects of the cold wave on other parts of the country - Inner Mongolia is only mentioned as breaking a record low temperature and nothing else, so it would be a very short section on its own.
