[quote=TOMSPENCER,272390]Yes, China uses the metric system. For weights, though, it is common to see things priced or weighed by the 'jin', which is equal to 0.5 kg. The 24 hour clock is known, here, and sometimes used (especially in businesses that are engaged in international trade), however the 12 hour clock is standard. I don't think this has got anything to do with America, though. Plenty of countries operate like this, I think. I've never seen a weather report in Fahrenheit in China. Everyone around here just looks blankly when you mention it to them. It's Celcius all the way.[/quote]
