Unfair Competition if R12
Aloha, if they are using R12 as the refrigerant then I think this is very unfair since producing R12 is illegal here in the USA and should not import air conditioners that uses it.

Re: Chinese Air Conditioners
i think the trick of china AC manufacturers here in my part of the world is they sell the AC as a 3, or 5 or even 7.5tonner, but the compressors they use are undersize. like for a 3tonner, they would install a compressor only producing 28,000btu, or a 5tonner would only have a compressot of 54,000btu so on and on, that's how they are able to sell at a lower costs aside from using generic parts and compresors.
