@vuorille So it looks like a universal method, China is not an exception, although the Blogger seems to fake some calculating methods of other countries🙀

[李惘然 Li Wangran @liwangran]

A Chinese Blogger posted a video on how to calculate multiplication in different countries,claiming that only China uses this method of listing equations for calculation. I would like to ask my friends, how do you calculate multiplication according to your school education?

Taking the bullet high speed train from Shanghai ti Hangzhou, 200 KMs it took me 45 minutes to arrive and with a cost of 10 euros. China is high developed in infrastructure in transport, this helps a lot in communication in between China.
