As a Chinese person, I certainly don't want to see Europeans all installing air conditioners. If all 500+ million people across Europe ran AC and lived the way folks do in China, it would spell real trouble for our planet.
Moreover, just as Europeans don't want to see modernization in China's Tibet and Xinjiang, claiming it destroys the culture of local ethnic minorities, we Chinese feel the same way — we don't like seeing modern technologies, such as AC, destroy Europe's primitive way of life. It's an assault on Europe's indigenous culture. We Chinese must speak up for the preservation of European traditions, and never allow modern technology to wipe out Europe's backward but beautiful cultures.
A less pronounced fact to high schoolers is that every parabola is similar to another one. Thus, every linear transformation of a parabola can be viewed as a composition of a translation and an enlargement. This is generally not true for other conic sections.
Also the two points are symmetric with regard to the circle, actually if we put the settings in argand diagram, the formula for the circle would be |z-z1|=k|z-z2| which is obviously an generalisation of symmetry about a mirror line.
