I am a Chinese living in Shanghai. A number of (upper) middle class now are thinking of “Run”, which means moving out of China to western countries.

Hahahaha yes warm food can warm your stomach, warm your heart in China.

I mean culture is different, never say there is no cold food in China. Besides, no one eat 饭团 cold in China. There are microwaves in 7/11 for heating. And I cannot agree Asia prefers cold rice. China, South Korea and southeast countries all prefer hot rice in daily meals. Yes I donot notice supermarket lunch is bottom-tier I saw that supermarkets lunch areas are often popular and crowded, therefore I suppose that’s a choice for at least a certain amount of people.

Hahaha at first I couldn’t believe cold spaghetti with sauce should be eaten directly.

Rice is more acceptable than bread for a Chinese stomach. Meanwhile, I suppose your Chinese friends are not able to take sushi as daily food as well :)

Chinese basically do not have a total cold meal. As far as I can think of, we only have cold dishes as starter or snacks.

But I am not mocking but curious about the difference between east and west cultures:) It bothers me a little for some unavailability of hot food when traveling but I think cold ones are healthier.
