Finally, from the overall perspective, many people think that Haier, as a leading company in China's domestic appliance industry, has made such a low level of error and has been beaten too.

The problem is that the verification of identity is not strict enough to create counterfeit goods to attend the '2018 Global Indoor Air Purification and Human Health Seminar' joke.
