We are plugging an IEC to US plug power cord into a universal power strip in Shenzhen.  The IEC jack on the equiment is wired according to the L N and G markings on it.  When we plug into the power strip the neutral is at 220 with respect to gnd and the line is very low AC voltage with respect to ground. THis tells me we have the line and neutral swapped.  Is the position of the line with respect to the ground in the outlet the opposite in China as in the US?
 
I suppose if we actually bought a China power cord we wouldn't be having these issues.  Supply is universal input so we don't need a transformer.
