Hello Cindy, The holes in the plug pins have never been allowed for China. If you look at the Chinese standard for plugs and receptacles (GB 1002-1996) figure 1 shows the plug without pin holes.

It seems that China now requires the plug blades to have no holes in them. Referring to the small round opening at the upper area of a US plug. We have been told by our customer that we only need to get a letter from the Chinese approval agency that states that we comply with all the requirements, except for the blade hole requirement. With this letter they are telling us that they can then ship and sell in China. This does not sound correct to me, and everyone that I have contacted on this to date is telling me that you can't do that. I was wondering if anyone had any input for me on this, or similar issues arising.
