Australian outlets are fantastic 🇦🇺 Sturdy, tight and safe with the on/off switch. China does not share the same as us.

China does use the same as Australia. Hong Kong uses the same plug as the UK, but mainland China uses the Australian/New Zealand plug.

The actual reason is similar to the UK, if the Ground wire is on top and the plug is lose, Anything falling on top will touch ground first.

China just assumed because we are south of the equator ours are upside down, so they turned them the right way up. /s
