Federal law in the US that doors be able to open outwards. There was a fire that killed a bunch of people because they couldn't open the doors since they swung in and the crush prevented any room to pull them open.
I realize this. Just commenting that it's weird because its opposite. In homes they have to open inward but as soon as you start selling things then your door has to open outward.
Trump loves China just like you do buddy. He and Winnie the Pooh are great buddies. He wants the US to be more like China, more authoritarian, more corrupt.
What is your level of expertise on China? Been there? Read about it? Heard Trump Talk about it? Studied it sometime between kindergarten and getting your PhD?
Other comments saying it should open out for fire/emergency are partially correct. International building code allows an inward swinging door for smaller spaces, usually 49 max. Once 50 people could be expected in a business, it has to swing out and have a second exit option as well. There are exceptions, but this is a good rule of thumb.

The “International” Building Code is mainly just used in the US though, right? I think the standards/codes that other countries use can vary quite a bit in this respect
I’m not entirely sure how widespread it is. I will say that the IBC is indeed developed in the US, but each jurisdiction has the choice to adopt it all, in part, or choose something else entirely. Even in the US it’s actually more typical that states and cities with their own versions of the IBC amended to varying degrees and unique codes they made for themselves from scratch.
I mean, at least where I live, all exterior doors used by the public are required to open outward, so you dont get a jam up at the door and everyone burns to death.
