With this fake thermometer, you can preset the temperature so the result is what you want.
Why are the Chinese producing fake thermometers? The following is only one of the motives:
Zhang Xuandong, the owner of Haofeng Electronic Technology Co. in Dongguan, Guangdong Province in China, says in a chat group of forehead thermometer producers which has 178 members, "Produce some fake products and sell them to the US. They (thermometers) should read 36.5 ºC when the actual temperature is 39 ºC. In this way, more and more American people will be infected. Let's see if they still have people left to go to other countries to harm others!"
After one member sends three laughing emojis, Zhang continues to say, "Isn't that a great idea? Without using one single solider, we make money, as well as make peace for the world."
Another member says, "No, we don't want to make money from Americans. Let them help and rely on themselves."
