    No. 220v/50hz in china, 120v/60hz in North America.

    The plugs are similar though, with china using the non-polarized and un-grounded version of the plug used in North America. (two flat blades, same width as Americas live pin) If you didn’t know better, you could plug in the wrong things in either country.

        Yup, that’s a North American plug.

        The grounded outlets that they do use have slanted live/neutral pins like Australia:

        Taiwan actually uses the North American plug design too, but at 110v/50hz.

        Some electronics may tolerate that, but many won’t function or may even be damaged by the change in frequency.
