This popped out at me from a scientific journal article written about courtyards in Chinese vernacular housing in a region of China which is very hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and always humid. The authors of this study sound like they would be very interested in RMHs. Who wants to make RMHs all the rage in China?

The Effects of Courtyards on the Thermal Performance of a Vernacular House in a Hot-Summer and Cold-Winter Climate by Shimeng Hao 1,2 [OrcID] , Changming Yu 3,* [OrcID] , Yuejia Xu 4 and Yehao Song 4
People from China have visited my RMH shop several times now in the last few months.
So the word is out there.
However rural china where rocket stoves and RMH's would be needed most, is isolated and remote. I suspect that internet is a mystery to them.
Getting the information there and then having them build an RMH is a big mountain to climb.
I suspect it would take a local to convince the others to even try a new stove.
Possibly a student could bring the information back home after becoming a Permie while here!

I can see about sending an email to the authors of this study if someone gets me a web page or an email address to direct the authors to about RMH's. The study this paper was based on was actually done in a Chinese city where they were using these unhealthy sources of winter heat. This paper was published in 2019.
