As China's populations explodes, so does their electrical needs. Wires are joined and extended in a complicated mass of connections yet every one of their wires seem to have a place and purpose. Some are even labelled and extra lenghts of wires are rolled and set aside ready for future expansion. It looks complicated and messy to us, but the Chinese adapt and make do with a simple system that works for them.
