Yes, the Chinese news says someone in Weibo posts about this, then the reporter tests:
1. at first the score is lower after switch region, they guess the reason is thermal throttling because they tested multiple times, after cooling down, the score is only improved a little.
2. they thought the battery capacity is 100%, so there is no throttling. Therefore doing the test on a 80% phone, but there is also no significant difference.
3. Finally they come out an assumption, iPhone will do a soft restart and kill a background process after changing region, so the performance is improved.
Therefore the title from gizchina is a little misleading.
